- Containment of leaks and spills so they do not reach drains, soil or other rooms
- Cleanup of solvents, paints, fuels, pesticides and pool or farm chemicals
- Absorbent materials and barriers placed to stop a spill from spreading
- Decontamination of tools, gear and surfaces used during the cleanup
