Inspector <br /> was provided with different training modules for different time periods but employees were not able to identify who <br /> had received the training, and what trainings were applicable to their job functions. <br /> Lack of training was evident during the inspection when the same hazardous waste stream was identified differently <br /> on hazardous waste labels or not at all. <br /> At one point during the inspection when looking at an incomplete hazardous waste label, a comment was made by <br /> Darryl Gardner, "these guys don't really know what they're doing". <br /> Personnel who handle hazardous waste shall be trained within six months of assignment and take part in an annual <br /> review of the initial training received. At a minimum, the training program shall be designed to ensure that facility <br /> personnel are able to respond effectively to emergencies by familiarizing them with emergency procedures, <br /> emergency equipment, and emergency systems, including where applicable: <br /> 1. procedures for using, inspecting, repairing, and replacing facility emergency and monitoring equipment; <br /> 2. key parameters for automatic waste feed cut-off systems; <br /> 3. communications or alarm systems; <br /> 4. response to fires or explosions; <br /> 5. response to ground-water contamination incidents; and <br /> 6. shutdown of operations. <br /> Training records on current employees shall be kept until closure of the facility. Training records on former <br /> employees shall be kept for at least three years from the date the employee last worked at the facility. Immediately <br /> provide employees who need it with initial or refresher hazardous waste training. Submit a copy of the roster, the <br /> syllabus, and training program for employees to the EHD. <br /> Violation#604- Failed to mark satellite containers with date filled within three days. <br /> At time of inspection it is not common practice to mark the hazardous waste satellite containers with a fill date. The <br /> containers, white buckets and black containers were seen through out the medical facility in the following <br /> departments: Womens health, Pathology lab, Oncology, Medicine B/C, Occupational Health, Physical Therapy, <br /> Intervention Radiology, Surgery center, Medicine A, Pulmonology, Medicine E, Pharmacy 1, Pediatrics, <br /> Nephrology/Rheumatology, Podiatry, Neurology, Pharmacy OPs, Dermatology, Pharmacy 3, Family Medicine 1, and <br /> Medicine D. The satellite containers must be marked with a fill date date once the container is full. These <br /> containers must be moved to the hazardous waste storage area within 3 days of the fill date. Immediately begin this <br /> practice. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
