Developer-Fixer Disposal/Silver Recovery

TRAINING/OTHER > Overview
The ability of personnel to manage hazardous waste can have a lot to do with the
quality and quantity of the training that they receive. It is common
for medical institutions to generate chemicals (developer/fixer waste,
radiographic x-rays, photochemicals, film processing, scrap film,
discarded imaging films, fixer solutions and outdated chemicals) that
may potentially be classified as a hazardous waste. An effective training
programme does not have to consume a great deal of time, but it does
need to be comprehensive enough to cover the topics required by regulations.
Although training is typically up to the central environmental, health
and safety (EH&S) or Facilities Management offices of a college
or university, this responsibility may fall on the individual departments
at some schools. Relevant information is provided both here and in
the expanded section of this activity area of the EVC.
Many organisations will combine different EH&S training sessions
to minimise the amount of time employees are “away”
from their job responsibilities. Continue on through the expanded
section to learn more about training requirements.
