The hazardous waste training conducted on site does not include all of the required information to be covered. It does not cover inspection procedures, hazardous waste handling during procedures such as vacuuming of liquids from the plastic sheets used for catch-containment over the acid dip tanks, chemical protective suits and booties, or routine squeegeeing of the cleaning center pit. During the inspection of Building 3, a site employee, Bob Kennedy, was observed waiting to pump from the acid rinse tanks. During a discussion on required PPE for workers walking and working on the grating between the acid tanks, it was noted by the inspector that Mr. Kennedy was wearing only a chemical resistant lab-coat style jacket over street clothing. Mr. Hansen stated that this may be the appropriate PPE for the task being conducted. Shortly after, it was noted by the inspectors that Mr. Kennedy had changed clothes into chemical resistant booties, a chemical resistant suit, and a respirator. Mr. Kitagawa stated that the training did not describe the appropriate PPE to be used for this task. Personnel who handle hazardous waste shall be trained within six months of assignment and take part in an annual review of the initial training received. At a minimum, the training program shall be designed to ensure that facility personnel are able to respond effectively to emergencies by familiarizing them with emergency procedures, emergency equipment, and emergency systems, including where applicable: 1. procedures for using, inspecting, repairing, and replacing facility emergency and monitoring equipment; 2. key parameters for automatic waste feed cutoff systems; 3. communications or alarm systems; 4. response to fires or explosions; 5. response to ground-water contamination incidents; and 6. shutdown of operations. The training program shall include instruction which teaches facility personnel hazardous waste management procedures relevant to the positions in which they are employed. Immediately provide employees with initial or refresher hazardous waste training covering all necessary topis. Submit a copy of the roster and the syllabus to the EHD. This is a Class II violation.
