Spill Containment and Clean-up Procedures VWhen dismantling and handling CRT units, care will be taken to prevent the breakage of glass. Dismantling of CRT Units will only occur in the designated handling area. The ground in the dismantling and unloading area will be covered with a 60 ml HDPE liner to contain any broken glass and prevent release to the environment. Employees will wear leather gloves for all dismantling operations to prevent cuts due to broken glass. Spill cleanup equipment will be maintained in both the unloading and dismantling area. This equipment will consist of the following items: • Broom • Dustpan • Shovel • Dust masks • 30 gal poly drum • 8 ml plastic bags • Duct Tape In the event that CRT glass is broken, it will be immediately cleaned up. All other operations will be halted, until the spill is contained and cleaned. The following procedures will be followed for all broken glass clean up operations: • Employees will don dust masks prior to clean up • All glass will be swept and contained in a dustpan or shovel • Broken glass will be double bagged in 8 ml bags • Plastic bags will be sealed with duct tape • Contained plastic bags will be placed in the 30 gallon drum for disposal • Dust masks will be placed in the 30 gallon drum for disposal • The drum will be sealed and labeled appropriately • An incident report form will be completed and submitted Each incident in which glass is broken will be investigated to determine the cause of the incident. When determined necessary, procedures will be modified or further training will be provided to employees on the proper handling procedures for CRT units. Recordkeeping and Reporting Onsite Electronics Recycling will maintain an ongoing log of all material accepted. This log will assign an item number, detail the date of collection, manufacturer name, and date of cancellation. Weekly reports will be provided to the County detailing the number of items collected. Separate logs will be kept for each collection location. Those materials collected at Foothill and North County will be entered in the log when these materials are delivered to the Lovelace Collection location. San Joaquin County Proposal Page 12 of 22
