Hazardous chemical waste


2/42

Environmental

StewardshipIt is the responsibility of all employees to

manage chemical waste in a reasonable

manner.

Failure to do so can result in harm to other

employees and/or destruction of work areas

due to fires, explosions, or spills.


3/42

Responsibilities

Hazardous chemical wastes are governed by

Federal, tate, and local regulations.

Failure to manage waste properly can result in

large fines and penalties! not only to the

"#, but to the individuals generating the

waste.

Waste Minimization


16/42

What is Waste

Minimization?

+ Waste minimization includes: source

reductionpractices that reduce oreliminate waste generation at the source;

and environmentally sound recycling

practices, where source reduction is not

economically practical.


17/42

Source Reduction

+ includes any practice that reduces the

'uantity and/or toxicity of pollutantsentering a waste stream prior to recycling,

treatment, or disposal.


18/42

E'amples of Source

Reduction equipment or technology modifications,

reformulation or redesign of products,

substitution of less toxic raw materials,

improvements in work practices,

maintenance,

better inventory control.


19/42

Recycling

+ includes the use, reuse and/or reclamation

of waste residuals =that may be designated

as a hazardous waste> or materials in a

hazardous waste.


20/42

( material is

used or reused0

+ if it is used as an ingredient in a process tomake a product or, or if it is used as an

effective substitute for a commercial

product.


21/42

( material is reclaimed0

+ if it is processed to recover a usableproduct, or if it is regenerated.

How to Manage andContain Waste

Satellite (ccumulation

(reas -S((.

+ "ll containers of hazardous waste must be

stored in an area designated as a satelliteaccumulation area. atellite accumulation

areas must be established in the area where

the waste was generated and under thedirect control of the individual who

generated the waste.

accumulated in each waste container in a "".

+ However, once the container is full and/or theabove stated limits are exceeded the waste must beremoved from the work area within three working

days .


27/42

Condition of Hazardous

Waste Containers+ *ontainers must be in good condition,

+ Have no rust, pinholes, dents, leaks, or chemical

deposits on the outside,+ *ontainer cap must be free of cracks and seals

tightly B no corks, stoppers, foil, and parafilm,
