Conducting Weekly Inspections <br /> Required by law, the Weekly Inspection helps ensure the station is always in compliance. The <br /> inspection must be performed once each week by the SM or an ASM. Completed inspection <br /> forms are kept for 5 years. <br /> • Keep the Weekly Inspections (including blank forms) for the month on a clipboard at the <br /> Accumulation Station. For details on how to get inspection forms, see the resources <br /> section at the end of this guide. <br /> • As part of the inspection, totes must be opened and spot-checked for proper classification. <br /> Any waste found in the wrong tote must be moved to the correct tote. <br /> • If any exceptions are found during the inspection, they must be documented on the form <br /> and corrected immediately <br /> • Weekly Inspections must be signed and dated by the person conducting the inspection. <br /> Completed forms must be kept in the Haz Waste binder (Family Dollar) or Weekly <br /> Inspection file (Dollar Tree). <br /> • The completed Weekly Inspection forms will be reviewed by any agency regulators who <br /> come into your store for a hazardous waste/hazardous materials inspection. It is important <br /> that they are completed accurately and on-time. <br /> Safely Managing Helium <br /> Helium is a colorless, odorless compressed gas that we use to fill balloons. Posted on either the <br /> tank or above the tank are instructions for securing and moving tanks, and filling balloons. You <br /> must follow these instructions, and those listed below, at all times. <br /> • Associates must be properly trained before handling helium. <br /> • Be sure to review the Safety Data Sheet for helium. (It should be posted at the balloon <br /> station and helium storage area.) <br /> • Do not allow anyone to inhale helium from the filling equipment or from balloons. <br /> o Suffocation can take place by reducing the concentration of oxygen in the air. <br /> o Inhaling directly from the filling equipment can also cause serious lung damage. <br /> • Do not leave a tank unattended and accessible. Tanks must be secured in the balloon <br /> station and chained while in the back room. The chain must rest securely from one-third to <br /> one-half the way down the tank. <br /> • Never block tanks in the back room with u-boats, fixtures, freight or other items— <br /> they must be accessible for us, first responders, and the regulatory agencies. <br /> Hazardous Waste Quick Reference Guide 10 May 2019 <br />
