trained in the transportation of hazardous materials. DGI has a good selection of courses. Update...Joe, For shipments of hazardous wastes, the offerer of the waste and the transporter will sign the manifest. If you are asking who within your company should sign, in my opinion, it should

I'm not sure I get it. If you put this material in a different area, removed from any area where hazwaste is stored, is it then not regulated? That would seem like a simple solution. But the response you got seems to suggest that a whole range of materials that are not hazwaste become so

thought! It sounds as if you are storing the drums in your hazardous waste storage area (as opposed to satellite storage area). The spent acetone/stain/paint needs to be managed as hazardous waste, meaning yes, you must label as "Hazardous Waste" and you must put an accumulation start date. Thanks

I use the US Department of Labor statistics. I just had to run that report for the company. The address is www.bls.gov/data/ then go to get detailed statistics.This will give you the list of hazardous activities and give you a full brake down of all industries. Hope this can help

?) into the hazardous waste storage area and then label them as such....then treat/recycle them onsite, you are actually then treating hazardous waste which requires a special license as a TSDF would hold. I don't have

Setzold, If you follow the flowchart in 40 CFR 260 Appendix I, it seems to indicate that the waste becomes a RCRA solid waste then a RCRA Hazardous waste then is not regulated under Subtitle C. Subtitle C covers the RCRA regulations. I would label the containers "Acetone to be recycled

I am the new safety guy for a company that hasn't had anyone specifically doing safety. I have searched this forum and not found anything similar to my current question. What is the practice for using electric tools in a potentially hazardous environment. Our company is in the natural gas industry

You also need to be sure you do not engage in speculative accumulation. In general, a material is considered speculatively accumulated if it is being accumulated without having a known recycling market or disposition, or no feasible means of recycling, and during a one-year calendar period, 75 percent of the material is not recycled, or transferred to a different site of recycling. The point about checking with your state solid waste office is also very important. States have the authority under

As a cabinet manufacturer we generate a significant amount of spent acetone/stain. Being an EPA generator we follow the 90 day storage rule, however we have a solvent still that we use to reclaim acetone. My question is - should I continue to label all barrels as haz waste knowing that I will later recycle them? Or could I label them “acetone to be recycled” thus extending or avoiding the time limits? Specific citations if available would be appreciated.

As someone else said, check with your State regulators as they may be more stringent than the Feds. However, here is how I believe it should be handled. 1. You have a solid waste when the material is spent and must be reclaimed prior to reuse. If it is a solid waste, you must designate it and it will certainly designate as a Haz Waste due to ignitability. 2. You must now manage this haz waste under all the appropriate rules for your generator status including labeling, accumulation start date, storage
