• Generates internal pressure through expansion • Reactivity with the water will be noted within 10 seconds (based on the above criteria) or the waste will be considered non-water reactive. Test 4-Flammability (40 CFR 261.21) A representative sample will be screened by exposing it to an open flame for one second. If the sample ignites,the material will have a flash point less than room temperature (70oF) and will be considered flammable. Unacceptable Materials Upon identification of other dangerous materials including explosives (dynamite, bullets), labeled radioactive material and labeled biological/medical waste (except medical sharps), the PM should be immediately notified for direction and handling instructions. The material should not be removed from the vehicle except under their explicit direction. Non-Hazardous Materials In order to keep the ultimate handling of hazardous material to a minimum and to maintain an orderly site,all non-hazardous materials should be separated from the hazardous materials. This is particularly important with boxes and containers that are used to transport the material to the site,which should be deposited in the appropriate recycling or trash bins. Materials that are commonly deposited but are not hazardous include empty containers and cardboard, among other items. These should be placed in the non-hazardous containers. The PM will develop a"do-not-pack list" and inform all employees and post prominently in the facility. 7.6 DECONTAMINATION AREA The decontamination area is an area set aside especially for the removal of contaminated safety equipment prior to entering the support areas. Contaminated safety equipment will be removed here and either properly disposed of or decontaminated for later reuse. This area shall also contain an eyewash station. 7.7 SUPPORT SERVICES Rest areas and rest rooms are located away from the collection areas to avoid any possible contamination of food and drink supplies. The washing facilities should always be used before eating and drinking, and contaminated clothing and gloves should be removed as well. Eating and drinking will be prohibited except in the designated rest areas. 8. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES Overall responsibility for the conduct of facility operations shall be vested in the PM. To ensure smooth operation, the work area supervisor and the PM play key roles. This management team is responsible for the activities within each given area. Any emergencies, questions, comments, difficulties, or requests for assistance, should be directed to the PM or OC. Page 14 of 41
