What Valley Hill Property Owners Ask About Hazardous Cleanup
What is the difference between hazmat and biohazard?
Biohazard usually means materials that carry germs, such as blood and body fluids. Hazmat means materials that are dangerous in other ways, such as chemicals, fuels and gases. Some jobs involve both. A local team can explain which applies to your situation.
Can I clean up a hazardous spill myself?
Small spills of familiar products may be manageable by following the label. Large, unknown or dangerous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.
How do I get rid of hazardous materials?
Do not pour them down a drain or put them in the trash. Keep them in their original containers, away from heat and children, and have a cleanup team collect anything leaking or unknown. Waste must go to a facility that can accept it.
Who responds to the emergency first?
Fire and emergency crews respond to immediate dangers, so call 911 first. They make the scene safe. Cleanup usually follows once they release the site. You can then get a cleanup team for removal, cleaning and disposal, and learn what records to keep.
What is hazmat equipment cleaning?
It is the decontamination of tools, gear, machinery and vehicles that touched a hazardous material. Items are cleaned with products suited to the material, and those that cannot be made safe are packed for disposal.
How do I handle hazardous waste safely?
Wear gloves and eye protection if the label says so, never mix products and keep containers closed. Leave unknown or leaking materials alone and call a professional. A cleanup team can pack and haul the waste lawfully.
