Hazardous material, empty containers and soaked items go into sealed drums or bags. Hard surfaces are cleaned, and porous materials that soaked up the substance are removed.

What Sheraden Property Owners Ask About Chemical Cleanup

Does a chemical spill have to be reported?

Reporting rules depend on the substance, the amount and where it spilled. The local fire department, the health department or an attorney can say what applies. A cleanup team can explain the work and the records it can provide.

Do OSHA rules apply to chemical cleanup?

OSHA sets safety rules for workers who handle 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 are the health risks of chemical exposure?

Chemicals can irritate or burn skin and eyes, harm the lungs and poison people who swallow them. Some give off fumes or catch fire. Call 911 in an emergency and Poison Control for exposure questions, and tell them the product name if known.

Why is mixing cleaning products dangerous?

Some products release toxic gas when combined. Bleach and ammonia are a well-known example. Never mix products to clean a spill, and leave the area if you smell fumes.

What if a mercury thermometer or lamp breaks?

Open a window if it is safe, leave the room and keep people and pets away. Do not vacuum or sweep mercury, since that spreads it. Call Poison Control with questions, and call a cleanup team if the spill is large.

How much does chemical waste cleanup cost?

It depends on the substance, the amount, the spread and the disposal fees. Published ranges vary widely. The local team gives a real price after it sees the site or hears the details. Ask what is included and what could change.
