See our process below for a Loading Dock Spill Containment:
Our crew observed the inside of the contaminated trailer and found the affected pallets with 3 pounds of product that spilled onto the floor.
Our technicians staged two 55-gallon OTS drums with a poly liner in each of them. They started utilizing a HEPA-vac to reclaim the spilt product waste powder from off the affected area.
HazChem Environmental then unwrapped and unstacked the pallets, one-by-one, and they wiped the residual powder product waste down with absorbent pads and water.
Our crew found five damaged 50-pound product bags from the pallets and put them in one waste drum.
Our technicians wiped the product bags as they restacked them on the cleaned pallets, then shrink wrapped them.
The crew completed the remediation, documented with photos.
We doffed our PPE and placed them in the second drum, along with the impacted plastic and HEPA bag.
This spill generated two waste drums; they were sealed, labeled properly, and kept on-site for disposal.
