Does the institution have strategies in place to safely dispose of all hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste and seek to minimize the presence of these materials on campus?:
A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
XVIII Procedure for the use of Hazardous Materials
Hazardous Chemical use guidelines.
Requirement for use and storage of hazardous materials.
Comply with the OSHA hazard communication standard.
Training.
The purpose of this policy is to provide faculty and staff clear direction for safe handling of hazardous materials and to comply with OSHA requirements.
The list of hazardous materials regulated under the OSHA hazard communication standard, 29 CFR1910.1200 is not all-inclusive because any material that meets OSHA criteria is considered hazardous. Beyond the immediate health hazards such as acute toxicity or the physical hazard such as flammability are the target organs effects that, by and large, are delayed health effects. Delayed effects manifest themselves some time after exposure and often at dosages lower than those that may cause immediate health effects. Included in the list of delayed effects are neuro-toxic effects, liver and kidney effects, and dermal or lung sensitization.
The OSHA Subpart Z-Table list of Chemicals is OSHA's floor list of hazardous materials. These chemicals have Permissible Exposure Limits. Other chemicals defined as hazardous are those listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the National Toxicological Program, or OSHA have determined to be carcinogenic.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
The campus contracts with approved vendors that are licensed to transport and dispose of hazardous chemicals.
