It is important to wear protective covering while cleaning sewage

 Until help arrives, make sure you keep any young children or pets away from the affected area. Any adult who may be cleaning raw sewage should make sure to cover up any exposed skin and use safety equipment such as rubber boots, rubber gloves, and safety goggles.
