The team checks labels, placards, safety data sheets and the history of the site. If the substance is unknown, it is treated as hazardous until identified.
3. Control the release

Who responds to the emergency first?
Fire and emergency crews respond to immediate dangers, so call 911 first. They make the scene safe. Cleanup usually follows once they release the site. You can then get a cleanup team for removal, cleaning and disposal, and learn what records to keep.
How are hazardous materials disposed of?
Waste is sorted, labeled, packed and hauled by the rules that apply to its type. It does not go in the regular trash or down a drain. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.
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.
What if I find unlabeled drums on a property?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
