HAZARDOUS WASTE OPERATIONS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE |
. | |||
General Requirements |
||||||
|
A decontamination
procedure must be implemented before any employee or equipment may leave a potentially
hazardous exposure
area. It must include operating procedures to minimize exposure through contact with
exposed equipment, other employees, or used clothing. The decontamination procedures must
also include showers and change rooms where needed. An emergency response plan to handle possible on-site emergencies must be developed prior to beginning hazardous waste operations. Such plans must address: personnel roles; lines of authority, training, and communications; emergency recognition and prevention; safe places of refuge; site security; evacuation routes and procedures; emergency medical treatment; and emergency alerting. An off-site emergency response plan must be developed to better coordinate emergency action by the local services and to implement appropriate control action. Let’s see how much you remember.
