Martinez Toxic Waste Questions, Answered

What should I do first after a chemical spill?

Get everyone away from the area, including pets. Call 911 if anyone is in danger, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Do not touch unknown containers or try to wash a spill away. Then call a cleanup team for next steps.

Do OSHA rules apply to chemical cleanup?

OSHA sets safety rules for workers who handle 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.

Does a chemical spill have to be reported?

Reporting rules depend on the substance, the amount and where it spilled. The local fire department, the health department or an attorney can say what applies. A cleanup team can explain the work and the records it can provide.

What if a mercury thermometer or lamp breaks?

Open a window if it is safe, leave the room and keep people and pets away. Do not vacuum or sweep mercury, since that spreads it. Call Poison Control with questions, and call a cleanup team if the spill is large.

How are chemicals 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 cleanup team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.

What chemicals can toxic waste cleanup crews remove?

Common ones are paints, solvents, fuels, pesticides, pool chemicals, cleaning products, batteries and mercury. Crews also remove unlabeled containers once the contents are identified. Ask the team what it can handle for your site.
