Hazmat Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lower Peters Canyon, Irvine, CA

Do OSHA rules apply to hazmat cleanup?

OSHA sets safety rules for workers who respond to and clean up 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 if I find unlabeled drums on a property?

Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.

Does insurance cover hazmat cleanup?

It depends on the policy. Some cover sudden spills, and many exclude pollution or long-term leaks. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos from a safe spot and keep every receipt.

How are hazardous materials disposed of?

Waste is sorted, labeled, packed and hauled by the rules that apply to its type. It does not go in the regular trash or down a drain. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.

How do I get rid of hazardous materials?
