Reactive chemicals are substances that can undergo potentially hazardous reactions when exposed to specific conditions or other substances. Spills involving reactive chemicals require specialised knowledge and precautions to prevent further reactions or dangerous interactions.
Hazardous Waste
Spills of hazardous waste materials, such as those generated by industrial processes or laboratory operations, can contain a combination of harmful substances. These spills may require specialised handling and disposal methods due to the nature of the waste.

Cleaning up oil spills requires a fast and systematic approach to contain, recover, and remediate the spilled oil. Here’s a simplified guide on how to clean up oil spills:
Safety First: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and prevent further spread of the oil. Use absorbent materials like booms or pads to contain the spill and create a barrier.
Contain and Recover: Deploy absorbent materials to soak up the spilled oil. Carefully collect and remove the absorbent materials, placing them in proper containers. Dispose of them following local regulations.
Clean the Area: Use suitable cleaning methods for the affected surface. Use detergents or degreasers with scrub brushes or pressure washers for hard surfaces. Consider specialised techniques for soil or porous surfaces.
Remediate and Restore: Assess the environmental impact and develop a plan for remediation if necessary. This may involve soil testing, ecological monitoring, and implementing measures to restore the affected area.
Note that the specific approach may vary depending on the spill size, type of oil, and environmental considerations. For larger or complex spills, it is recommended to involve professional oil spill response companies like APT, or environmental experts.

Cleaning a chemical spill requires careful handling and adherence to safety protocols. Here’s a general guide on how to clean a chemical spill:
Assess the Situation: Quickly evaluate the spill, considering factors like the type of chemical, quantity, toxicity level, and potential hazards. Ensure that you are aware of any specific risks associated with the spilled chemical.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Put on appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, a lab coat or protective clothing, and respiratory protection if necessary. Ensure that you have access to an emergency eyewash station and safety shower.
Contain the Spill: If possible, contain the spill to prevent it from spreading further. Use spill containment kits, absorbent materials, or barriers to limit the area affected by the spill. Avoid direct contact with the spilled substance.
Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in the area to reduce the concentration of fumes or vapors. Open windows, doors, or use fans to improve airflow, if safe to do so.
Neutralisation: If you are trained and it is safe to do so, consider neutralising the spilled chemical following the manufacturer’s instructions or established protocols. Use appropriate neutralising agents or absorbents specifically recommended for the chemical involved.
Clean-Up: Carefully clean up the spill using suitable absorbents, such as spill kits or absorbent pads, to soak up the spilled material. Use proper containment and disposal methods as specified for the specific chemical or consult with local authorities.
Decontamination: Thoroughly decontaminate the affected area using appropriate cleaning agents. Follow established decontamination procedures and dispose of contaminated cleaning materials as hazardous waste.
Reporting and Documentation: Report the spill to the appropriate authorities or your company’s designated personnel, and document the incident following established procedures.
It’s important to note that the specific procedures for cleaning a chemical spill may vary depending on the type and quantity of the spilled chemical, local regulations, and safety guidelines. In cases of large or hazardous spills, it is advisable to contact specialized hazardous material response teams like APT, or authorities for assistance.
