Overview

In Slippery Situations We Bring the Traction.

Haz Mat Special Services has worked in some of the most challenging arenas of the emergency response industry, including oil spill response. Not only are we OSRO-Certified and have affiliations with the Coast Guard to handle spills on water, but HMSS is also a partner of GLO and DCO-Certified to clean up oil spills on land.

Haz Mat Special Services handles everything from common over-the-road oil spills—including tanker truck rollovers— to large-scale oil spills, such as marine vessel spills, pipeline ruptures, well blowouts, and facility releases.

Compliance

Knowledge without Wisdom is Dangerous.

We all know those people who can take tests superbly but can't apply the knowledge. HMSS professionals have the cognitive ability to multi-task, knowledge, experience, wisdom and expertise to recognize and delineate situations based on chemical and physical properties and characteristics. Our professionals are also intelligent enough to enlist specialists who are experts in certain arenas to ensure safe and effective methodology is utilized for oil spill response.

Our professionals begin formulating strategy, tactics, logistics and response plans from the moment we receive a call. It is vitally important that when you call someone, they ask the right questions to effectively and efficiently respond to your needs. We deploy the Incident Command Structure (ICS) on every site. This is important for clear communication, security, delegation of authority, span of control, resource management and controlling costs.
