24 Hour Emergency Response
Early Environmental Contracting, LLC (EEC) provides around the clock Hazardous Materials response teams with the latest equipment available for rapid clean up and remediation in emergency situations. We can customize an emergency response program to meet your facility's needs or over the road transportation needs. All our standard operating safety guidelines are in accordance with OSHA Training Standard (29CFR1910.120q) for persons working with potentially hazardous materials.
Our personnel are trained and experienced in evaluating incidents and determining the most effective course of action to contain and abate the situation. In any emergency incident a potentially dangerous situation exists. Chemicals that are combustible, explosive, corrosive, toxic, or reactive or materials that are biological and radioactive can affect the general public or the environment as well as response personnel. For these reasons, having an experienced, properly trained first responder such as EEC is important.
As part of EEC's comprehensive emergency response program, standard operating safety procedures provide instructions on how to accomplish specific tasks in a safe manner. In concept and principle, standard operating safety procedures are independent of the type of hazardous materials incident. At particular incidents, they are adapted and modified to correspond to the safety requirements that are needed.
We use CIAgent, a nontoxic, petroleum-based polymer that coagulates with fuel or oil for remediation of spills.
EEC personnel incorporate the following systems during a response:
- Incident "size up" and assessment
- Establish a command post and "staging" area if necessary
- Identify product involved in release and gather information
- Determine if protective clothing is needed
- Plan entry and decontamination area
- Determine need for evacuation, establish plan
- Containment and neutralization
- Triage if injured or ill, physician consultation
- Transfer information to public agency
- Clean-up and stabilization
- Record keeping/ reporting
- Decontamination
- Complete mitigation/ analysis of actions
