Clean Earth Environmental <br />HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM <br />12 IGNITABLE/REACTIVE PROCEDURE <br />Clean Earth will take precautions to prevent accidental ignition or reaction of ignitable or reactive waste. This <br />waste shall be separated and protected from sources of ignition or reaction including but not limited to: open <br />flames, smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat, sparks (static, electrical, or mechanical), <br />spontaneous ignition (e.g., from heat-producing chemical reactions), and radiant heat. While ignitable or reactive <br />waste is being handled, Clean Earth will prohibit smoking and open flame to specially designated locations. "No <br />Smoking" signs shall be conspicuously placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste. <br />13 BULKING PROCEDURES <br />FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AND OIL BASED PAINT <br />Personal Protective Equipment: <br />Blue Nitrile (Inner) Gloves Disposable Tyvek (Polycoated) <br />Steel-toe Safety Boots PVC Coated (Outer) Gloves <br />Respirators-Full-face/Organic Vapor/Acid Gas Cartridges <br />Safety Equipment: <br />Absorbent Fire Extinguishers <br />Shovels Brooms <br />First Aid Kit Emergency Eyewash/Shower <br />Non sparking tools Bonding and Grounding Straps <br />Funnels <br />Material Handling Equipment: <br />Carts Drum Dolly <br />Forklift Pallet Jack <br />GUIDELINES AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: <br />Only trained personnel will bulk materials. Required PPE will be worn at all times. <br />Personnel will be made aware of the location of spill and emergency response equipment. <br />Equipment will be identified by orange safety flags (i.e. fire extinguisher, safety shower, etc.). <br />Personnel will observe all safety precautions for bulking (i.e. bonding and grounding of containers and <br />drums) <br />All materials containing volatile organic compounds (solvents, paints, inks, etc.) shall be closed at all <br />times except during actual transfer between containers. Liquid spills shall be contained and <br />recovered immediately. All porous materials, such as cloth or paper, that are contaminated with <br />volatile organic liquids shall be stored in closed containers. <br />12
