A critical component of disaster remediation is ensuring residential and commercial environments are made safe again for human occupation. The following strategies may help ensure personal safety during disaster remediation.

1. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
If there is a chance that dangerous substances have entered an environment where people work or live following a disaster, PPE should be used by anyone entering the area. The type and amount of PPE needed at a remediation site depends on the severity of the situation.

2. Be aware of hidden dangers
To understand the degree of contamination present at a disaster site, chemical and biological testing may be required to identify substances and microbes that are not visible to the eye.

3. Use appropriate products
Ensure the use of proper products to effectively eliminate and neutralize the contaminants by gaining an understanding of the specific harmful substances and known remediation solutions.
