Hazardous Materials Response
Hazmat Cleanups: Rapid Response, Safe Containment, Full Remediation
When biological or chemical contaminants put people, equipment or the environment at risk, FGH responds with trained crews, certified equipment and a clear plan to contain, remove and remediate.
What we do
Trained crews for the incidents nobody plans for
A chemical release, a biological contamination or an uncontrolled spill needs more than general cleaning. It needs crews who understand the hazard, the right protective equipment and a method that contains the problem before it spreads.
FGH hazmat teams respond rapidly to contain and remove hazardous materials, decontaminate the affected equipment and surfaces, and remediate the site so it can safely return to service. Removed material is transported and disposed of through our certified hazardous waste service, with the documentation you need for regulators and insurers.

How we work
Our hazmat cleanups process
Every FGH job follows the same disciplined sequence — scope it properly, control the risk, do the work, and hand it back documented.
Assess & isolate
We identify the hazard, isolate the area and establish exclusion zones and PPE requirements.
Contain
The release is stopped and contained to prevent spread into drains, soil or neighbouring areas.
Remove & decontaminate
Contaminated material is recovered and affected surfaces and equipment are decontaminated.
Remediate & report
The site is restored, waste is disposed of compliantly and a full report is issued.
