Mitigating Risk

Implementing a Comprehensive Program• Identification • Documentation and reporting requirements

assessment• Disposition Guidance• Training• Program Review

©2010, 3E Company, All Rights Reserved

Identification

• Build your chemical and hazardous waste inventory– Cleaners, Detergents, Pesticides– Cosmetics– Pharmaceuticals– Batteries, battery operated devices, and bulbs– E-waste (TVs, computers, consumer electronics)– E-cigarettes, Alcohol over 48 proof– Process waste (parts washing, paint tint, photo)

Identification

• Hazard Determination– Generator knowledge alone not typically sufficient– SDS a recognized viable reference by state

agencies• Hazardous Constituents and percentages• Hazardous characteristics• Toxicity• Health hazards/warnings

– Testing

Identification

Supplemental supplier data sometimes needed• Proprietary, Trade Secret, Missing Data• Conflicting data on SDS• “Full disclosure” can confuse what’s needed

for compliance and delay classification

Program Development

• What are the labeling requirements for your containers?

• What is your generator status?• What documentation is required?• Who will sign if needed?• What are the reporting requirements in each

state?• Who will file reports if needed?

Disposition

• Container/Drum/Bucket identification and segregation quickly becoming industry standard

• Distinguish flammable, toxic, corrosive (acid/base), state managed waste

• Other disposition streams:– Vendor buyback/return– Secondary Markets/Donation– Recycling

Training & Communication

• Coded waste determination available via the scan gun system – New industry standard– Quick/efficient way to communicate with

employees– Posters on-site support the program– Assigned responsibilities (are items staged? Who

can sign?)– What if item doesn’t have designation?

Program Scope

Comprehensive Single Program Leveraged to Address:

• Damaged Product• Vendor Buybacks• Customer Returns• Expired Product• Regional or nationwide recalls• Unknown/dumped waste

Program Review

• Gaps– Reconciliation– Employee Support– Phase 2 Waste – no codes, but not acceptable as

trash • Opportunities

– Markdowns of hazmat– Expand other disposition options to control costs– “Green” product selection

Program Review

• Annual Review– Programs costs (disposal costs, training)– Total waste generated– Hit ratio of classified vs non-classified– Support solutions – cost effective? Filling all gaps?– Waste Reduction

• Are all potential waste sources addressed?• Is solution meeting all organizational needs?
