(b) requiring that the receptacle or vehicle used for the removal or carriage of any such matter or liquid shall be properly constructed and covered so as to prevent the escape of any such matter or liquid;

(c) requiring the cleansing of any place whereon any such matter or liquid has been dropped or spilt in the course of removal or carriage.
