Hazmat Cleanup FAQs for Wilkinsburg and Allegheny County
What is hazmat equipment cleaning?
It is the decontamination of tools, gear, machinery and vehicles that touched a hazardous material. Items are cleaned with products suited to the material, and those that cannot be made safe are packed for disposal.
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 does a hazmat cleaning company do?

What if the spill reached soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
What are hazardous cleaning services best for?
They suit any site where a harmful material needs safe removal, from a garage leak to a fleet-yard spill. They are also used before a sale, a lease or an inspection that needs documented cleanup.
