HAZMAT (short for Hazardous Materials) teams are personnel tasked with cleaning up potentially dangerous spills and handling material that is not safe for other personnel to handle.

Overview

Responsibilities

HAZMAT teams assist in cleaning hazardous areas or objects like broken and leaking Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engines.[2]

When they do not remove these problems directly, they may tag a space-borne hazard with HAZNAV (navigation hazard) satellites to warn other ships from straying too close to it.[3]

Equipment

Some HAZMAT teams utilize the OSTEO combat engineering suit.[4]

History

A HAZMAT team was deployed to New Phoeonix following the New Phoenix Incident.[1]
