Hazardous material spill in Lithia Springs contained by on-site Safety personnel
Hazardous Spill File
Custom Building Products in Lithia Springs experienced a spill of ethylene glycol last week, we spoke with Production/Safety personnel at the Sweetwater Industrial Boulevard location. Approximately 150 to 200 gallons of the product was spilled, personnel on site contained the spill with absorbent material and allowed it to dry before containerizing for pick up and final disposal. Law Chemical out of Woodstock was called in to assist with the clean up, under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, a licensed agent must be called in to transport and store materials classified as hazardous. Hats off to the quick response and clean up by Mike and his team at Custom Building Products, three huge containers have already been picked up and removed for proper disposal, the remaining three containers are going out via Law Chemical this week.
