How Crews Contain and Remove Hazardous Waste in Pinole
2. Assess the site
The crew looks at how far the spill spread and what it touched. It notes drains, soil, porous materials and anything that needs to be kept away from the area.
3. Remove and decontaminate
Containers and contaminated materials come out first. Floors, shelves, walls and equipment are cleaned with products that suit the substance.
4. Pack, label, haul
Different products are kept apart so that they cannot react. Waste is labeled and moved by the rules that apply to its type.
