• Handle or generate hazardous materials
• Formal personnel training program is a requirement for
large quantity generators (49 CFR 265.16)
• 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

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)

Material Handling and
Proper PPE
Controlling Hazards (Hierarchy of
Controls)
1. Elimination
2. Substitution
3. 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
NORTH AMERICA
NORTH AMERICA

TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

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

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

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
–
•
Store liquid wastes in secondary containers
–
•
•
No corrosive materials in metal 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 288-1911
