Emergency/OSRO Response

Emergency Spill Response

 

SET has responded to thousands of spills since 1979.  The emergency response (ER) team responds to situations ranging from mercury spills requiring decontamination and repackaging, to reacting 55-gallon drums of organic peroxides heated above their critical temperature.  The ER team frequently responds to transportation incidents ranging from ruptured fuel tanks, to overturned tankers requiring drill and transfer to remove the product from the tanker.  SET has resources to respond to leaking compressed gas cylinders, as well as leaking PCB transformers or biological agents.

 

In the event of a spill containing hazardous materials, SET Environmental will provide OSHA trained personnel, equipment, and supplies necessary to properly contain and remediate the spill. All energies of the spill team are concentrated on minimizing the effects of the chemical(s) to human health and the environment.
