  1. Hazardous Material Control for SchoolsPASBO 48th Annual Conference Nick G. Patton, CSP 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. www.1ssh.com

  2. Introduction and Regulatory Impact (PA) • Primary impact from PA DEP Solid Waste Laws • Impacted by wastewater discharge permits (down the drain) • Local restrictions such as fire marshal for combustible storage amounts 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. www.1ssh.com

  3. Hazardous Material Control Tidbits • Lab chemicals do not fall into some hazardous waste regulations, but have to be disposed of following the regulations • Think of the entire building as one site (under current regulations, it is!) • Similar wastes such as solvents could be combined • Hazardous materials need approved packaging for any transportation 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. www.1ssh.com

  4. Planning and Action • Inventory, Inventory, Inventory! • Significant $ can be saved if inventory is done well • Think of all vectors, not just the Chem Labs • Any unknowns will require sample analysis to determine characteristics 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. www.1ssh.com

  5. Planning and Action • Except for approved and SAFE combining, do not pack any materials • Liability issues loom if you give away or sell off hazardous materials 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. www.1ssh.com

  6. Other Recommendations • Invite waste professionals to review your inventories for ideas and $ • Better to use or apply old hazardous materials than to attempt disposal • It ain't waste until you say it is • Each building is a separate waste site, but mingling wastes, especially small quantities may be a cost savings 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. www.1ssh.com

  7. Other Recommendations • Lab packing of Chem and Bio Lab wastes needs to be done by professionals, again why the inventory is so important • Use labels, MSDS, or knowledge to identify materials 1Source Safety and Health, Inc. www.1ssh.com
