The work often covers:
- Cleanup of spills that follow a flood, fire or move-out and leave contents unknown
- Absorbent materials and barriers placed to stop a spill from spreading
- Removal of leaking, damaged and unlabeled containers from garages, sheds and units
- Decontamination of tools, gear and surfaces used during the cleanup
