What constitutes as a HAZMAT spill?

Many HAZMAT spills are the result of vehicle accidents. Both transported material spills and system fluid leaks can require a HAZMAT Cleanup response. Radiators, brake lines, hydraulic lines, fuel spills and oil spills are all triggers for cleanup and site mitigation if required.

When is a HAZMAT Cleanup Response Required?

Under 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.1200 chemicals which are carcinogens, toxic agents, irritants, corrosives, sensitizers; agents which act on the hematopoietic system; agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes; chemicals which are combustible, explosive, flammable, oxidizers, pyrophoric material, unstable-reactive or water-reactive; and chemicals which in the course of normal handling, use, or storage may produce or release dusts, gases, fumes, vapors, mists or smoke which may have any of the previously mentioned characteristics.

Subsection 355, Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations details a list of over 350 hazardous and extremely hazardous substances which can cause harm to people, plants, or animals when released by spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment.

Further, the Department of Transportation Title 49 of the CFR defines a hazardous material as any item or chemical which, when being transported or moved in commerce, is a risk to public safety or the environment. While cleanup is required whenever any spill occurs, no matter what the substance or area affected, anything defined by these government agencies require expert HAZMAT teams.
