Are you just “oil-spill cleanup guys”?

NO. We’re your all-in-one resource.
We provide immediate response to any emergency — from oil spills to chemical leaks to explosives. What’s more, thanks to our affiliation with Environmental Waste Minimization, Inc. (EWMI), we have resources to handle the emergency situation and the follow-through. After containment and cleanup, we can turn the job over to EWMI for remediation, treatment and disposal. The whole process is seamless and affordable.

Our staff is fully trained and certified

Each Rapid Response staff member has received extensive education and job-specific training. In fact, our employees’ qualifications and credentials exceed industry standards. Regardless of the situation, we understand — and know how to address — the financial, legal and social aspects of a hazardous material emergency. Our extensive training process ensures that public health and safety are always the first priority when responding to any emergency.

We own state-of-the-art equipment and supplies

Our response teams are outfitted with the latest emergency response equipment and supplies — from all levels of personal protective equipment and atmospheric monitoring devices to spill control equipment for chemical releases. No other emergency response contractor can match our inventory.

Transportation Incident

K061 spill

Transportation Incident

K061 spill

Pneumatic tanker containing EPA-regulated waste ran off the highway and into a swale. Rapid Response decontaminated the driver and installed absorbents for the K061 spill. A nearby stream was protected with poly sheeting. Rapid Response excavated diesel and K061-contaminated soil, as well as restored the site with clean backfill.

Emergency Chemical Reaction Containment

Bulging hydrogen peroxide drums

Emergency Chemical Reaction Containment

Bulging hydrogen peroxide drums

Rapid Response was hired by a third-party environmental company. Several drums had lost lids and some were going through a reaction. A Containment Reduction Zone (CRZ) was created as an extreme health and safety measure. An infrared gun determined which drums were most critical. A specialized 12-foot long extended pneumatic drill created a small pressure release hole in each container.

No matter how compliant you are,

accidents will happen.
