How Crews Contain, Remove and Dispose of Hazardous Materials in Merrick

Absorbent socks, berms and drain covers keep the material from traveling. Leaking containers go into secondary containment.

Drains are covered where needed and ignition sources are controlled. The crew works from clean areas toward the source and collects the material.

Can I clean up a hazardous spill myself?
