1. Welcome to Marquette University’s Hazardous Waste and Emergency Procedures Awareness Training

2. Why am I here? Handle or generate hazardous materials
Formal personnel training program is a requirement for large quantity generators (49 CFR )
To be trained on the proper procedures of accumulating and storing hazardous materials to ensure compliance with the law
To prevent personal injury, property damage, or a major spill

3. Agenda Marquette’s Generator Classification
Hazardous Waste Characteristics
Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
Handling Hazardous Materials & Proper Personal Protective Equipment
Satellite Accumulation Procedures
Spill Response, Clean-Up, Emergency Response and Preparedness

4. Acronyms EPA = Environmental Protection Agency
Determines what is a hazardous waste
Governs hazardous waste regulations
DOT = Department of Transportation
Regulates transportation of hazardous materials
RCRA = Resource Conservation & Recovery Act
Standard for the disposal of solid and hazardous wastes
DNR = Department of Natural Resources
Governs over the generators of hazardous waste at the state level
OSHA = Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Regulates hazardous materials in the workplace
PPE = Personal Protective Equipment
Last line of defense against hazardous materials

5. Marquette’s Classification

6. Three Categories of Generators
Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)
< 220 lbs/month generation or < 2205 lbs total accumulation
Small Quantity Generator (SQG)
lbs/month generation or < 13,230 lbs total accumulation
Large Quantity Generator (LQG)
> 2205 lbs generation/month or > 13,230 lbs total accumulation
Acute Waste
>2.2 lbs/month generation or > 2.2 lbs accumulation at any time makes you a LQG

7. How much is that?
2200 lbs. (1000 kg) is about five 55-gallon drums

8. Hazardous Waste Determination
Characteristic versus Listed Wastes

9. Hazardous Waste Determination
EPA Listed Wastes
P Listed: Unused acutely Hazardous Waste

16. Globally Harmonized System (GHS) & Recognizing Hazardous Materials

17. What is the GHS?
A common and coherent approach to defining and classifying hazards, and communicating information on labels and safety data sheets. (Revision to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard )

18. Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
OSHA’s Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)
Increase international trade
Container labeling standardization
Chemical classification standardization
International Chemical Safety Standard
Effective Dates:
12/1/13: All employees must be trained on new label elements and SDS format
6/1/15: Manufacturers and distributors must comply with all modified provisions except that distributors have until 12/1/15 to provide revised labels for all products shipped.
6/1/16: OSHA enforcement starts: Employers must update all labels and HazCom program, provide additional training for workers on newly identified physical or health hazards
During transition period, employers can comply with old or new standard as far as labels and SDSs.

19. Recognizing Hazardous Materials - Read Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

28. Hazardous Material Handling and Proper Personal Protective Equipment

29. Considerations when Handling Hazardous Materials
Use common sense!
Think before you act
Follow good housekeeping procedures
Clean-up after yourself
Always wear the proper PPE
Know the hazards of the materials you are working with!
Create and use chemical specific SOP’s (Safe Operating Procedures)

30. Controlling Hazards (Hierarchy of Controls)
Material Handling and Proper PPE
Controlling Hazards (Hierarchy of Controls)
Elimination
Substitution
Engineering Controls
Remove the hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard
2. Administrative Controls
Limit worker contact with the hazard
Training/Procedures, Good Housekeeping
3. PPE
LAST RESORT
Engineering and administrative controls should be used, but do not completely alleviate the hazard

31. PPE = Last Resort
When PPE is the primary control measure, the hazard is still present in the environment
Failure of the PPE or improper usage can expose the worker to the full effect of the hazards present in the environment

33. Satellite Accumulation Procedures

34. Satellite Accumulation
“A generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of hazardous waste…in containers at or near any point of generation…which is under the control of the operator…”
Up to 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste (P-coded) can be collected in a satellite accumulation area
Your research labs, student labs or other rooms where materials are collected and accumulated are considered to be Satellite Accumulation Areas

35. Good Management – labeled, dated, contained

36. Satellite Accumulation
Material name must be on label –
NO CHEMICAL FORMULAS OR ABBREVIATIONS!!!
The container must have the words “hazardous waste”
Container Management:
Containers must remain closed when not adding waste
Must be leak-proof and in good condition
Containers must be compatible with contents
No corrosive materials in metal containers
Store liquid wastes in secondary containers
Must be able to hold 110% of the largest containers volume
Containers must be moved to storage location within 3 days after being filled
Free access to containers must be maintained at all times.
The containers must remain closed when waste is not being added or removed
The containers must be leak-proof and in good condition
The containers must be compatible with contents
The containers must be moved to storage location within 3 days after being filled***
The accumulation start date is the day the container is filled – not the day you first add material into the container.

42. Your Responsibilities
You must fill out an inventory of material generated or discarded and send it to Dennis
State and Federal Regulations State:
“The identity and location of all stored hazardous waste shall be known throughout the entire accumulation period.”
To maintain documentation of hazardous waste that is currently being stored, in case of an emergency
Makes waste shipment easier
Aids in determining waste generation rate
Helps identify waste minimization opportunities
Please fill out sheet for materials to be disposed of on a regular basis
Inspect your work area to ensure proper procedures and practices are being followed

43. Spill Response, Clean-Up, and Emergency Response

44. Please reference the Marquette University Emergency Procedures Guide and Contingency Plan for further details on what to do in case of an emergency.

45. Causes of chemical spills are as follows:
Causes of a Spill
Causes of chemical spills are as follows:
Inappropriate handling techniques;
Inappropriate storage containers;
Damaged storage containers;
Uncontrolled access to chemical storage;
Lack of chemical-related training; and
Lack of supervision.

46. Spill Prevention Planning
Only buy and store amount of material needed
Buy the least hazardous materials possible
Use non-hazardous materials when possible
Minimize traffic in the area
Store liquid wastes in secondary containers
Regularly inspect containers to ensure their integrity
Be aware of evacuation routes and emergency equipment

47. Managing A Spill
What type and size of spills am I capable of managing?
You should only be cleaning up small spills (less than 1 gallon) of known materials that you work with on a regular basis after you have had attended a training session given by the EHS department.
Small spill clean-up kits are located in the 90-day storage area and in “all” laboratories.
Notify the Marquette Police Department (x8-1911) for larger spills, or spills containing reactive or highly toxic materials. Marquette Police will notify the proper authorities.

48. Spill Kits
These spill kits contain everything you need to properly manage a small spill in your labs.
These are available from EH&S.
Please contact Dennis Daye to place an order.

49. What to do when an emergency occurs…
TAKE CARE OF THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
Activate the building’s fire alarm system.
If you have bodily contact with material:
immediately remove any contaminated clothing
flush the area with copious amounts of water
Call Marquette Police at
Identify yourself and why you are calling
Identify the exact location and nature of the emergency
Identify any injuries of symptoms involved
Identify all hazardous materials involved (if known)

50. ALWAYS CALL 288-1911 ON CAMPUS TO
This is a general awareness training. You are not trained as an emergency responder and should not attempt to manage emergencies. Emergency agencies such as the Fire Department, Police Department and Haz Mat Response Teams will be responsible for situations other than easily contained spills or incidental situations.
ALWAYS CALL ON CAMPUS TO
REPORT AN EMERGENCY
