The Chemical Cleanup Process in South Lansing, Step by Step

1. Identify the substance

The team checks labels, safety data sheets and the history of the site. If the substance is unknown, crews treat it as hazardous until it is identified.

2. Gear up and isolate

Gloves, eye protection, respirators and chemical-resistant suits go on as the hazard requires. The work zone is marked and ventilation is managed.

3. Clean up the hazard

Crews in protective suits remove the product and the contaminated materials. Products are never mixed, and tools used on the spill are cleaned or discarded afterward.

4. Verify and transport

The team inspects the cleaned area and explains what was done. Waste leaves the property in labeled containers for lawful disposal.
