From waste generation to disposal.
What is our basic duty in complying with the Hazardous Waste Program?
Ensure the waste we produce is collected, fully documented, identified, and transported to an approve treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
What can we do to reduce the strain on landfills?
Reduce consumption and recycle.
What category does the majority of automotive hazardous wastes fall?
F - Nonspecific sources.
What should vehicle management do with empty containers of hazardous materials?
They must be turned in to hazardous waste accumulation or satellite accumulation point for disposal.
What is an MSDS?
The primary link in a communication process between manufacturer and the handler, or user of the material.
List 4 situations when you should refer to the MSDS.
-Before you handle the material for the first time. -If you have questions about the materials physical characteristics. -If you have questions about how or where to store the material. -When you have to clean up a spill or a leak and dispose of the material.
What factors listed in the MSDS help when decided what management practices are needed in the work area?

What is one of the keys to avoiding liability?
A good and accurate record.
State 2 reasons why you shouldn't mix different hazardous wastes.
-Mixing can cause violent and dangerous chemical reactions -Mixed contaminants are very expensive to dispose of
Why should hazardous waste containers be placed on pallets?
To reduce corrosion caused by contact with the ground.
What is defined as a satellite accumulation point?
The practice of allowing the collection of small amounts of hazardous waste at or near the point of generation.
What punishment is rendered for violating environmental laws?
Prison terms of 6 months to 15 years, and one-time fines anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, with cumulative fines as high as $50,000 per day for violation.
