Hazmat Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Sheffield, AL
Do OSHA rules apply to hazmat cleanup?
OSHA sets safety rules for workers who respond to and clean up hazardous substances. Professional crews follow those rules and use gear matched to the hazard. Employers have their own duties, which safety staff or an attorney can explain.
What if I find unlabeled drums on a property?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
Do biohazard crews clean chemical spills?
Some do, but the work is different. Biohazard cleanup deals with blood and germs, while hazmat deals with harmful substances. Ask whether a team has the gear and procedures for the specific material before hiring it.
What does a hazmat cleaning company do?
