The team checks labels, safety data sheets and the history of the site. If the substance is unknown, crews treat it as hazardous until it is identified.

Gloves, eye protection, respirators and chemical-resistant suits go on as the hazard requires. The work zone is marked and ventilation is managed.

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

4. Dispose and confirm

The team packs the waste and takes it away. A final check of the area ends with a plain summary for the owner.
