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

How do I get rid of hazardous materials?

Do not pour them down a drain or put them in the trash. Keep them in their original containers, away from heat and children, and have a cleanup team collect anything leaking or unknown. Waste must go to a facility that can accept it.
