10 Steps for Emergency Preparedness

摘要

Generators of more than 100 kg of hazardous wastes in a calendar month must determine if they are small or large-quantity generators as defined by federal regulations. A large-quantity generator generates more than 1,000 kg of hazardous wastes in a calendar month. That is roughly equal to five 55-gallon containers a month. As a waste generator, there are certain requirements pertaining to preparedness and prevention that must be followed: 1. Have an accessible communication or alarm system capable of providing emergency instructions to plant personnel. In the event of an emergency, instruct plant personnel to evacuate to a safe area.
