How Hazmat Cleanup Works in Brighton, AL
2. Sort by hazard
Flammables, corrosives, poisons and oxidizers are separated. Anything leaking is packed in secondary containment right away.

Drains are covered where needed and ignition sources are controlled. The crew works from clean areas toward the source and collects the material.
