B. Inventory Control <br /> Procurement of hazardous materials at Robertson-Ceco Corp. is managed by the ERT. <br /> Considerations given to hazardous materials procurement include materials substitution and <br /> "just-in-time" ordering. Material substitution is recommended. <br /> The Hazardous Materials/Waste Specialist reviews hazardous materials procurement <br /> to ensure that a less hazardous or non-hazardous material is used in place of hazardous <br /> material whenever possible. The ordering of chemicals occurs as they are needed <br /> versus bulk orders and results in the reduction of hazardous materials and waste <br /> present on the facility. <br /> GOOD HOUSEKEEPING <br /> DESCRIPTION <br /> Good housekeeping practices are designed to maintain a clean and orderly work <br /> environment. Often the most effective first step towards preventing pollution in storm <br /> water from industrial sites simply involves using good common sense to improve the <br /> facility's basic housekeeping methods. Poor housekeeping can result in more waste <br /> being generated than necessary and an increased potential for storm water <br /> contamination. A clean and orderly work area reduces the possibility of accidental <br /> spills caused by mishandling of chemicals and equipment, thereby reducing safety <br /> hazards. Well maintained material and chemical storage areas will reduce the <br /> possibility of storm water mixing with pollutants. <br /> Simple procedures can be used to promote good housekeeping, including improved <br /> operation and maintenance of industrial machinery and processes„ material storage <br /> practices, material inventory controls, routine and regular clean-up schedules, <br /> maintaining will organized work areas, and educational programs. <br /> It is the policy of Robertson-Ceco Corp. that managers as well as line supervisors are <br /> responsible for ensuring that personnel are educated in proper environmental hazards <br /> management, including storm water pollution prevention. <br /> REQUIREMENTS <br /> A.
