Yesterday morning upon arriving at my work area the lead said that the waste tank was leaking again and that he had finished with moving all vehicles out of that particular area. We both contacted and spoke with our cargo manager and he said he would make the calls to have the tank drained/cleaned and the area affected by the sewage spill would be scrubbed clean just as with any other lav spill. Well as of today 24 hours later the ground around our office hasn't been scrubbed and de-sanitized; it's still wet in some spots which means our office is even more contaminated today. Yesterday morning some RSE's hadn't noticed the spill and some thought it was just water and walked through the spill that morning so the office as well as the trailer needs to be cleaned; floors mopped please; it seemed like yesterday that the management didn't want [to] call the cleaners over to disinfect the floors at the least. What about inside the tractor or stuff dropped on the floor and picked up; etc. This issue should have taken some priority yesterday but it wasn't and we still have this bio hazard under our feet. Just got off the radio with management again who claims they've made the call several times but no results. We are not going to wait for the rains tomorrow night to wash this crap away. I will give them one hour then I'm calling the airport authorities; this is ridiculous that we have to work in these unsanitary conditions.
