Contaminated materials are sealed in labeled containers and hauled away. Rules vary by location, and some waste may need special handling. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end of the job.
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the space is vacant.
A careful cleanup removes the residue it covers, and a final inspection checks the work. Rules for testing vary by place. Ask the team what was done and what was not checked, and ask the local health department what applies.
Residue can stay until it is cleaned, and no one can tell by looking. That is why a closed area should be left alone until a cleanup team has cleaned it. You can ask the team to explain the methods it uses and how it checks the work.
Do not touch it, and keep others away. Tell a supervisor or the property manager and call 911 if anyone is ill. A cleanup team can clean the area afterward. Employers should also follow their own safety procedures.
Responders have left? A cleanup team picks up where they stopped.
