Inside a Chemical Spill Cleanup Job in Arbutus, MD

1. Walk the site

The team checks every room, shelf and corner where containers may be hiding. It counts and photographs what it finds before touching anything.

2. Make the area safe

People and pets are kept out. Ignition sources and unsafe airflow are controlled, and workers put on protective gear matched to the hazard.

3. Clean up and treat

The spill is absorbed, contaminated items are removed and surfaces are cleaned. Odors and residue are treated according to the substance.

4. Clean, package and haul

Surfaces are cleaned with methods suited to the substance. Waste is labeled, sorted by type and hauled by the rules that apply.
