What Wailua Property Owners Ask About Hazardous Cleanup

Who responds to the emergency first?

Fire and emergency crews respond to immediate dangers, so call 911 first. They make the scene safe. Cleanup usually follows once they release the site. You can then get a cleanup team for removal, cleaning and disposal, and learn what records to keep.

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.

How much does hazmat cleanup cost?
