According to press release issued by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of America on December 9, 2008, EPA has fined a key and lock manufacturer in Hudson, Massachusetts, by $70,000 in regard with violations of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, relating to the characterization, handling, labeling and storage of hazardous waste.
EPA found some violation points associated with hazardous waste management in that company. Here are the EPA’s findings:
1. The company was failed to make adequate determinations about the nature and characteristics of its hazardous wastes.
2. The company did not provide proper protection facility in order to protect surrounding environment, if hazardous waste leakage occurs.
3. Incompatible wastes were stored near one another without any means of separation to prevent the possibility of dangerous chemical reactions.
4. The containers were not properly labeled as hazardous waste.
However, can we imagine how to improve these findings?
Actually, the answers can be extracted from hazardous chemical labels and MSDS. Or if these documents do not give enough information, we can directly contact chemical manufacturer and supplier.
In addition, almost every country has its own regulation related to hazardous waste management, which can be utilized as a reference too.
Let’s now check our own hazardous waste management using the above mentioned findings. Do self-inspection. Then, if you need MSDS of certain hazardous chemical, you may find it here.
