Some jobs don't have a playbook. You build the protocol on-site.
TBT to our team in Malaysia handling a pretty technically demanding jobs: safe repackaging of wetted pyrophoric metals from a fire-damaged shipping container at a major port.
Pyrophoric materials ignite spontaneously when they hit air. That's not a figure of speech — you're working in inert atmosphere conditions, with no margin for error, in a hot, pressurized environment.

What made it work:
→ A crew that had trained for exactly this type of exposure
→ Containment protocols built specifically for this material class
→ Real-time decision-making when conditions on the ground shifted

Zero incidents. Container cleared. Port operations resumed.

This is the work we don't always talk about — but it's exactly why clients on five continents pick up the phone and call us first.

Big news: OURAY is returning as Platinum Sponsor — and Welcome Reception Sponsor — of the 2026 CHEMTREC International Hazmat Summit. 🏆

This is one of the most important gatherings in our industry. Every year, the Summit brings together the professionals who set the standard for how hazardous materials are handled, transported, and responded to — across borders, industries, and disciplines.

For us, being part of CHEMTREC's Summit is more than a sponsorship. It is a reflection of our commitment to the kind of cross-industry collaboration that raises the bar for chemical safety worldwide — for operators, shippers, first responders, and the communities they serve.

We are proud to be back at the table and look forward to connecting with colleagues, clients, and partners at the event.

When a chemical spill happens, every second counts. In this month's case study, we walk through a recent emergency response where OURAY's rapid deployment and expert team contained a hazmat incident safely and

This is what we do.

College Station, TX — two events, one clear takeaway: the hazmat industry never stops evolving, and neither do we. 🚛

Our team — including Aaron Montgomery, Antonio Madrid, and Ben Salo — spent the week in College Station attending both the TRANSCAER Annual Texas Event and the American Chemistry Council Ethylene Oxide Seminar at Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX).

From in-depth sessions on ethylene oxide handling and dual-hazard chemical protocols to hands-on drills and industry-wide conversations on transport safety, the week delivered exactly the kind of learning that sharpens our team and strengthens what we bring to every client engagement.

At OURAY, we believe that the best emergency responders are also the most educated ones. Continued education is not a nice-to-have — it is how we show up ready when it matters most.

Thank you to TRANSCAER and the American Chemistry Council for hosting two exceptional events. Proud to have been part of the room. 🏔️

Working with pyrophoric materials is high-risk work that demands experience and precision.

OURAY regularly performs pyrophoric material handling and remediation projects, delivering safe, compliant, and reliable solutions when the stakes are highest.
