Emergency Spill Response: How C2G Manages Hazardous Material Cleanup

Why is Emergency Spill Response Important?
✔ Protects Public Health – Hazardous spills can lead to toxic exposure, respiratory issues, and water contamination, posing risks to local communities.
✔ Prevents Environmental Damage – Chemicals and petroleum spills can seep into soil and waterways, harming wildlife and ecosystems.
✔ Ensures Regulatory Compliance – Businesses are required to report and remediate spills under EPA, OSHA, and state environmental laws to avoid penalties and legal action.
✔ Reduces Liability & Costs – Quick containment and cleanup prevent long-term contamination, costly lawsuits, and property devaluation.
