Emergency Spill Response is Crucial to Safety & Health
Many industries in U.S. manufacture, use or store hazardous materials. Since these hazardous materials are hauled by road, rail, and water, just about any facility can experience an accidental spill.
Chemical spills typically fall into two categories: incidental and emergency. Incidental spills do not pose a direct health or safety hazard. Incident spills cannot be called “safe,” but their health and safety hazards are very minimal.
They can be contained and cleaned by employees who are well aware with the spill response procedures. Emergency spills, on the other hand, are severe.
Emergency spills pose a risk to the health and/or safety of a person. They typically include flammable chemicals that require a special emergency spill response strategy. When there is a spill, it becomes important to hire highly specialized team with the equipment and expertise to resolve the spill situation:
- Quickly
- Safely
- Efficiently
- Cost-effectively
