Hazardous Materials Classification
There are nine hazardous material classifications that are consistent across all government agencies who regulate the transportation of dangerous goods for both national and international levels.
Our Specialty Hazardous Materials Classifications
Mayken™ is trained, qualified, certified and experienced to perform transportation or environmental cleanup services related to these six classifications:
Hazardous Materials Classification 3
- Flammable liquids and combustible liquids (fuel, methanol, solvents etc)
This is most commonly found at work site or accident sites.
Hazardous Materials Classification 4
- Flammable solids (spills/contamination)
- Spontaneously combustible materials; and
- Dangerous when wet materials
- Water-reactive substances
Again, these types of cleanups tend to involve work site related spills and or accident scenes that require cleaning.

You'll find these types of sites that require cleaning tend to be industrial or farming locations.
Hazardous Materials Classification 6
- Toxic substances and infectious substances (crime and trauma)
