hazmat drill

Toxic spill practice

A hazmat drill is a practice exercise for responding to hazardous materials incidents—chemical spills, biological contamination, radioactive leaks.

Emergency responders, industrial workers, and schools conduct these drills to rehearse evacuation, containment, and decontamination procedures: The refinery runs quarterly hazmat drills.

Like fire drills, they prepare participants for emergencies without actual danger.
