ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Hazardous Waste

Hazardous emissions
Odours
Other
Explanation
use a physical process instead of a chemical process e.g. using ultrasound to clean equipment instead of a process involving chemicals;
using clips/bolts or nails instead of adhesive.
Safer substance
safety.unimelb.edu.au
isolate the process to one room with restricted access or use appropriate barriers/screens to separate substances
distance property, incompatible chemicals and ignition sources (e.g. flames, sparks) from goods
use fully or partially enclosed ventilation booths
use local exhaust or natural ventilation systems (e.g. air ducts, open doors/windows)
design buildings that are: compatible with the intended goods; made of non-combustible construction as far as is practicable; designed
to reduce contamination
use bunding to contain spillage
reduce the duration and/or frequency of exposure e.g. through job rotation
ensure safe interim storage of wastes/products (e.g. labeled properly in suitable containers stored away from people, the environment,
incompatible chemicals, ignition sources etc)
vacuum or wet sweep to suppress dust being generated
clean up spills immediately (includes provision of suitable aids, equipment and isolate floor and stromwater drains)
gloves
head protection
