Absorbents <br />The reasons for needing oil absorbents are primarily safety and cleanliness. The first is obvious. <br />If there is loose oil on the shop floor, employees and customers are in danger of being injured. It <br />only takes one slip -and -fall case to pay for several truckloads of oil absorbent. <br />If there is a spill in the shop the proper procedures are: <br />-Cover the spill with floor absorbent. <br />Used Absorbents <br />Used floor absorbent should be stored in the Used Floor Absorbent Barrel Labeled with a <br />Hazardous Waste Label. <br />*If the Used Floor Absorbent barrel is empty please write the date on the <br />accumulation line of the label or notify the office so that it can be properly done. <br />Used floor absorbent cannot be left overnight unless you feel that the absorbent is still doing its <br />job. In that case, the absorbent is to be swept up before the end of the following work day. <br />(USED ABSORBENT BARRELS MUST BE SEALED AT ALL TIMES) <br />Oil <br />Here at LFW we use cutting oil for our machines and gear oil for our Gearboxes. <br />Used Oil <br />There are times that we receive a gearbox that has been previously filled with oil. If we do <br />receive a gearbox that has been previously filled with oil the proper procedures is to: <br />-Drain the used oil into a bucket/ container and then dump into the <br />Used Oil barrel labeled with a Hazardous Waste Label. <br />*If the Used Oil barrel is empty please write the date on the accumulation line <br />of the label or notify the office so that it can be properly done. <br />If you are using buckets to collect used oil that is non reusable; from the machines or Gearboxes <br />they MUST be dumped every day before the end of your shift. Without question! <br />(USED OIL BARRELS MUST BE SEALED AT ALL TIMES) <br />Used Oil Filters <br />Used oil filters are to be drained and stored in a 5 gallon bucket labeled <br />"Drained oil filters". <br />*If the Drained Oil Filters bucket is empty please write the date on the accumulation <br />line of the label or notify the office so that it can be properly done. <br />There is no need for a Hazardous Waste Label because the filters have been drained and do not <br />contain any waste. <br />
