Hazards When Cleaning Up An Oil Spill

Safety is a top priority for us here at ICE cleaning, our technicians, customers and clients are the heart of our business. When it comes to an oil spill, our on-site specialist technicians will face an immense amount of potential hazards from elements such as:

• Detergents
• Dispersants
• By-products 

Depending on the location of where the spilt oil fell, various other potential risks such as slipping and falling, drowning, and heat-related illnesses also pose severe concerns to all of our technicians.

To ensure all individuals involved in the oil spillage clean up service are safe, we make it mandatory for all of our teams to go through a thorough training course, before they are given the opportunity to be on a project such as an oil spillage clean up. Our technicians have been highly trained in the following:

• Following instructions and have a high level of understanding of the decontamination process when an oil spill is involved.
• Thoroughly understand the health hazards that can occur from an oil spill if proper personal protective equipment is not worn, and safety precautions are out in place.  
• A complete briefing on the emergency procedures under the site-specific health and safety plan (Hasp).
• A high understanding of what duties need to be performed and in what order to ensure significant effective results.
• Knowledge to not handle any unmarked or unlabelled containers. 
• Complete knowledge of warning labels such s NFPA 704M that can often be found on chemical containers that are being used.

When oil is spilt in any environment, whether out at sea, the shoreline, or on the pavement, toxic chemicals can cause disastrous effects to all surrounding wildlife and the environment.

Our technicians have been trained to be able to adapt quickly in case a service of cleaning up oil on the shoreline, turns into an oil spillage clean up from the ocean.

Situations can change rapidly when it comes to cleaning oil from any location; therefore, you need to have a reliable oil spillage cleaning service that can adapt to all situations. 

There are so many forms of oil that all require a different method, technique and technology to completely eradicate the substance along with the harmful toxins that are associated with the oil. Employing an oil spillage cleaning company that fully understands the type of oils that are around is imperative to complete effective cleaning service.
