The types of wastes generated during production may include ignitable solvents, solvent wipers and debris, used oil, non-hazardous resins, and non-hazardous solids.</p> <p>Technicians manage satellite storage of these wastes.</p> <p>Responsible for verifying that satellite containers are compatible with their contents and are sealed unless waste is physically being added or removed.</p> <p>Ensure that all satellite containers used to accumulate waste are approved by the U.S Department of Transportation (DOT), and that containers are labeled with the words Hazardous Waste and other words that further describe the waste.</p> <p>Because Technicians routinely handle hazardous waste and Orafol is a large quantity generator (LQG), Technicians are required to attend annual hazardous waste training required by 40 CFR 262.34 (a)(4).</p> <p>Technicians verify that satellite accumulation areas are located at or near the point of generation (The facility may only accumulate up to 55 gallons of hazardous waste or 1 quart of acute hazardous waste at each satellite accumulation area).</p> <p>When the quantity limit is reached or a container is full, Technicians are required to add the accumulation start date to the container label and, within three days, transfer the waste container to the hazardous waste storage area.</p> <p>Prior to transferring containers to the hazardous waste storage area, Technicians are responsible for remove the attached pour off funnels, if present, and seal the container with U.N. approved closures (i.e. bungs).</p> <p>Technicians use appropriate container handling procedures and equipment to minimize the potential for a release of hazardous waste during transfer.</p> <p>Technicians are also responsible for placing containers in the appropriate storage location within the hazardous waste storage area and for verifying that waste containers have adequate secondary containment. This includes segregating potentially incompatible wastes. In the event of a release of hazardous waste, Technicians will isolate the immediate area, warn others in the affected area and notify the primary and/or alternate emergency coordinator. ORAFOL employees are only authorized to respond to incidental releases as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 29 CFR 1910.120.</p> <p>Follow prescribed safety guidelines in accordance to ORAFOL Americas Safety program; use required PPE</p> <p>Maintains an optimal level of product quality and adheres to ORAFOLs Quality Program</p>
