The Chemical Cleanup Process in Cleveland, Step by Step

1. Safety first

Everyone leaves the area, and 911 is called if anyone is in danger. Crews check air and surroundings before entering.

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. Clean up the hazard

Crews in protective suits remove the product and the contaminated materials. Products are never mixed, and tools used on the spill are cleaned or discarded afterward.

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.
