How Hazmat Cleanup Works in Muscatine, IA

1. Walk the site safely

Crews observe from a safe distance and check air and surroundings before entering. They photograph labels and the spread of the release.

2. Identify the material

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

3. Collect, clean, treat

Product and contaminated debris come out first. The site and the crew's own equipment are then cleaned with products suited to the material.

4. Pack, label, haul

Different materials are kept apart so they cannot react. Waste leaves the site by the route and rules that apply to its type.
