Ursus Remediation Testing & Technologies is an environmental services lab specializing in heavy metal and organic treatability studies, customized testing, and remediation services for engineers, scientists, and regulators to determine the most effective alternatives for achieving the remediation goals of a specific project. Services include sampling design, testing protocols, bench-level treatability testing, field dosage optimization, and in-field remediation implementation.

Problem: An emergency spill response plan is part of every laboratory safety protocol. However, despite all the best precautions, accidents can happen! Laboratories often house chemicals such as acids, bases, solvents and flammables—all of which can be toxic to human health and the environment if used incorrectly or spilled.

Participants will learn the proper steps for alerting/notifying, containing, cleaning up spills and disposing wastes of commonly used chemicals.

A seemingly minimal exposure can lead to severe medical consequences including death
