Confinement tactics are used on products that are:

Confinement tactics are specifically designed for situations where hazardous materials have been released from their container and pose a risk to the environment or public safety. When a product is no longer securely contained, it can spread or leak, requiring the immediate implementation of tactics to limit its movement and prevent further contamination or exposure.

These techniques often involve creating barriers to contain the hazardous material, using absorbents, or constructing temporary dams or dikes. The primary goal in such scenarios is to minimize the impact of the spill and keep the hazard from spreading to uncontaminated areas.

In situations where products are contained within secure facilities, in transit, or intended for disposal, the need for confinement tactics does not arise in the same manner since these settings typically involve control measures that are already in place or do not present an immediate threat to surrounding areas.
