The Hazmat Cleaning Process in Shively, Step by Step

1. Let responders lead

Fire and emergency crews handle the immediate danger. Cleanup begins only when responders say the scene is safe to enter, and the team asks what they found.

2. Contain and control

Barriers go up and the spread is stopped. The crew keeps people out and the job as private as the site allows.

3. Contain and remove

Barriers and absorbents stop the material from spreading. The product, damaged containers and contaminated items are collected in suitable sealed containers.

4. Close out

Waste is packed and taken away. A last check of the area ends with a plain explanation of the work and the paperwork.
