What is hazmat cleanup?
It is the safe handling, removal and disposal of hazardous materials after a spill, leak or release. Crews identify the material and wear suitable protective gear. They contain the spread, clean the area and send waste to a facility that can accept it.
What is the difference between hazmat and biohazard?
