Forward contracts with a hazardous waste hauler to remove and dispose of the <br /> waste properly and bills the customer for the costs. <br /> If hazardous materials are discovered that are not containerized such that <br /> reloading of the waste onto the vehicle is not possible, the area is marked off to <br /> limit access, and all employees evacuate the spill area. The San Joaquin County <br /> Office of Emergency Services and other appropriate agencies are notified of the <br /> incident. The appropriate emergency agency will handle the containment of the <br /> spill. A hazardous materials contractor will handle the cleanup, manifesting, and <br /> delivery of the spilled materials to an approved facility. <br /> All hazardous waste disposal incidents are recorded on the load checking sheet <br /> and are reported to the DISC, RWQCB, LEA, and the Governor's Office of <br /> Emergency Services Warning Center. <br /> The load checking program is explained in detail to all site personnel who are <br /> involved with load inspections including the scale house attendant, load <br /> inspectors, transfer station workers, and equipment operators. These employees <br /> also attend the Cal OSHA Hazardous Waste and Emergency Response Course <br /> taught by the UC Berkeley Labor and Occupational Health Program through the <br /> School of Public Health. The course emphasizes familiarity with the types of <br /> containers and labels typically used for hazardous wastes and other hazardous <br /> materials. The course is repeated annually. All new employees are enrolled in <br /> the course at the earliest available class after their hire. In addition, personnel <br /> are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first-aid, and respirator use. Highly <br /> visible signs, stating that no hazardous wastes are accepted, are located at the <br /> site entrance and office trailer. <br /> 3.1.9 PERSONNEL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM <br /> In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17408.7, the operator has prepared a safety <br /> plan in accordance with SB 198 (Injury and Illness Prevention Program).
