Ambipar were mobilised to a potential incident at one our client\u2019s distribution centres, where there was a suspected mercury contamination incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A discrete piece of cargo, a 120-year-old grandfather clock, was stored on its side within the client\u2019s facility. When it arrived at its final destination in Los Angeles, it was discovered that nearly a litre of liquid mercury contained in the clock\u2019s pendulum had spilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client was informed and notified of the spill, raising concern that it may have left contamination within the client\u2019s facility at Heathrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such a section of the warehouse floor, were temporarily put out of operation by the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambipar provide a guaranteed response within 4 hours of any incident for our client, 24\/7 all year round. Our emergency response team arrived on site within this required response time from the initial call-out, and implemented safe systems of work. This included the creation of RAMS and donning of appropriate PPE (including face-fitted respirators).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team had remote support from our In-House Dangerous Goods and Safety Advisor and HazMat Safety Advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team utilised Mercury Vapour Analysers to take a number of air samples from within the warehouse facility. This included within the area where the clock was stored, as well as sampling other locations in the warehouse to provide a complete reassurance to the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From all the samples taken, there were no signs of any mercury contamination in the air within the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a couple of hours of Ambipar\u2019s emergency response team arriving on site, the client was able to restore safe working environments for its employees and re-open areas of the warehouse that were temporarily shut down, minimising further disruption to operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1323,"template":"","categories":[225],"yoast_head":"\nMercury Contamination Survey -
