Fundamentals of Handling Hazardous Materials and Waste SAF 09-65 Handling Hazardous Materi- <br /> Regularly generated Departments that regularly generate hazardous waste (Paint,Plumbing, <br /> wastes Garden,and the Tool Rental Center)have specified storage areas to contain <br /> regularly generated wastes.The areas include red metal cans and designated <br /> buckets and/or drums. (See"Department Procedures" on page 1.6). <br /> Storing hazardous We use a color-coded system to store our hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. <br /> wastes Different kinds of wastes(ignitable,toxic,corrosive,reactive,or non-hazardous) <br /> are stored in different colored buckets (yellow, red,or black),stored or <br /> accumulated in specific containers such as a red metal can,and stored in <br /> different areas (or zones) in the central storage area.This system assures that <br /> different kinds of wastes cannot be mixed and inadvertently cause a chemical <br /> reaction.Here are some of the elements relating to storage of hazardous waste. <br /> These and other procedures are described in greater detail in the following <br /> sections. <br /> ■ 3E advises the designated HHM associate on which bucket to use and where <br /> to store it in the central storage area. <br /> ■ Each bucket must be labeled using a label faxed by 3E or,if a fax is not <br /> available,completed manually as instructed by 3E. <br /> ■ Each spill is stored in a separate bucket(one spill per bucket!). <br /> ■ Each regularly generated waste stream (used paint rags,paper towels or <br /> sticks with paint,used oily rags,fertilizer sweepings,non-leaking aerosol <br /> cans,waste gas,and waste oil)is stored in a separate bucket or container. <br /> ■ The RTV Associate performs daily inspections of the hazardous waste areas <br /> and fixes any issues. In the RTV Associate's absence (such as,weekends or <br /> during vacation periods),the Manager on Duty (MOD) performs the daily <br /> inspections of the hazardous waste areas and corrects any issues. <br /> ■ The Store Manager reviews and signs each Daily Hazardous Waste Area <br /> Inspection Form when on duty. In the Store Manager's absence,the MOD <br /> reviews and signs the Daily Hazardous Waste Area Inspection Form at the <br /> time it is completed. <br /> Hazardous waste All hazardous wastes,without exception, must be routinely disposed of by a <br /> disposal licensed hazardous waste transporter and in accordance with local,state, and <br /> federal requirements.This is an overview of some of the requirements relating <br /> to disposal. You must refer to the other sections of this SOP for a more detailed <br /> description of the disposal requirements. <br /> ■ The transporter provides pre-printed hazardous waste manifests (or Bills of <br /> Lading for Universal Waste)and transportation of our waste to proper and <br /> permitted disposal facilities. <br /> ■ When an additional pick up is necessary,contact your District Asset <br /> Protection Manager (DAPM)for approval.The DAPM will notify 3E to <br /> schedule any additional waste pickups deemed necessary after consulting <br /> store personnel. <br /> Revised: 12 January 2007 9 <br />
