The crew writes a plan covering the hazards, the gear and the route for waste. Questions from the owner are welcome at this stage.

The crew looks at how far the spill spread and what it touched. It notes drains, soil, porous materials and anything that needs to be kept away from the area.

Containers and contaminated materials come out first. Floors, shelves, walls and equipment are cleaned with products that suit the substance.

Waste is packed and hauled to an approved facility. The owner receives a summary of what was removed, so there is a record for insurers or buyers.

Does a chemical spill have to be reported?
