If left unattended, the release of hazardous materials in any location poses severe risks to the local community and the environment. A prompt spill response plan is required in a spill emergency, whether truck and rail tanker spilled or gaseous material leaked. Simple spills can be absorbed, neutralized, or managed efficiently, but hazardous spills require experienced specialists for evacuation and clean-up. Cactus Environmental Services is a company that offers emergency spill response services in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This article will discuss how to respond to hazardous substance releases and give more information about our full-service spill response services.

Response To Hazardous Substance Releases

Hazardous substance spills, including radiological, chemical, and biological materials, pose severe health and environmental risks if they are not responded to promptly and adequately. In case of a hazardous substance release, do the following:

Rescue

Immediately alert the area occupants and supervisor, and evacuate the area should the situation warrant it. Wear protective gear, including lab coats, gloves, face shields, and safety goggles. Additionally, avoid breathing vapors from the spill and seek emergency medical assistance if you come in contact with the substance.

Confine

It would be best to confine the spill area by closing the nearest doors to the spill area. Next, you can isolate contaminated persons to restrict the spreading of the contamination. Then, cover drains to prevent spills from entering the environment.

Report

After a hazardous spill, contact an emergency spill response service near you immediately. Provide information on your location, type of hazardous material spilled, estimated quantity, and injured individuals.

Secure

Seal off the area until the emergency response team arrives to ensure no one enters the spill area.

Clean-up

Hazardous substance releases should only be cleaned up by spill cleaning specialists with special clean-up materials, protective equipment, and appropriate training.

We use temporary diking, proprietary booms, sandbags, or absorbent pads, depending on the type of spill. We then treat the substances with appropriate chemicals to render them safe. Once the hazardous substances have been treated and cleared up, we wash the area with large volumes of water.

We pack the waste for off-site disposal at a waste treatment and disposal facility.
