BEST PRACTICES
Even when not required by environmental regulations, and when conducted by either
external regulators or internal staff, the following best practices
are recommended.
Inspections
Inspections should examine the waste storage area for:
- Spills
- Leaks
- Container damage
- Rust and corrosion
- Overflows
- Condition of secondary containment
- Operation of monitoring equipment
- Readiness of emergency response PPE and equipment
- Container or tank levels
- Container caps in place and sealed when material in not being added or
transferred
- Incompatible materials stored near on another
- Signage is present and legible.
Inspections should be documented with specific findings, recommended corrective
actions and assigned responsibilities and time frames for completion of corrective
actions. Follow up inspections should include determination of implementation
of corrective actions.
