It is the safe handling, removal and disposal of hazardous materials after a spill, leak or release. Crews identify the material and wear suitable protective gear. They contain the spread, clean the area and send waste to a facility that can accept it.
Crime scene crews mainly use detergents and EPA-registered disinfectants against germs, not harsh industrial chemicals. Hazmat crews choose products to match the hazardous material instead. Products are never mixed, and labels set the contact time.
The person or business that caused a release is often responsible, and owners usually carry the cost on their own property. After a vehicle accident, ask whether another party's insurer or a carrier is involved. In a rental, the lease and local law decide.
