Chemical Spill Cleanup: Ink Spill in Loading Dock
HazChem recently received a call stating that there was a spill of non-hazardous blue ink from a pallet that was crushed during shipping. Ink can be a complex medium, composed of solvents, pigments, dyes, resins, lubricants, solubilizers, surgactants, particulate matter, flourescents, and other materials. HazChem specializes in hazardous and non-hazardous loading dock chemical spill cleanup.
HazChem Emergency Responders crew arrived on-site and conducted a health and safety meeting. They donned the appropriate PPE for handling blue ink. They located a contaminated pallet and staged two 55-gallon drums to contain waste.
The crew unwrapped and unstacked the freight to access the damaged containers. They placed one damaged 5-gallon pail in a designated drum and the affected plastic wrap into a second drum for disposal.
The HazChem Environmental team remediated the affected trailer floor using oil dry to absorb the spill.
They swept the trailer floor to remove all remaining product waste and placed it in a waste drum.
HazChem Environmental spill cleanup crew collected the used oil dry in a designated drum.
This spill generated two waste drums; sealed, properly labeled, and kept on-site. Final photos were taken, sent, and remediation of the spill was approved.
