HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT

3.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (HMMP)

The USAG Humphreys HMMP manages hazardous materials (hazardous chemicals, hazardous materials, hazardous substances, and toxic chemicals) in accordance with all Federal, DoD, USFK, DA, and local environmental, health and safety, and transportation requirements. The garrison has published a

Fragmentary Order to OPORD 16-80 which formalizes the membership of an HMMP for the garrison.

3.2 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL DEFINITION

The term “hazardous material” used throughout this Plan incorporates the following definitions from the

USFK, United States Department of Transportation (DOT), EPA, and Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) for toxic chemicals, hazardous chemicals, hazardous materials, and hazardous substances.

USFK - Hazardous materials are materials that pose an unreasonable risk to health, safety, or the environment if improperly handled, stored, issued, transported, labeled, or disposed because they display characteristics listed in USFK Reg 201-1, Appendix B, Table B-4.

USFK - Toxic chemicals are chemicals that are hazardous to human health or the environment.

DOT - Hazardous materials are materials that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment when used, transported, handled, or stored. The DOT categorizes HMs into nine hazard classes that include hazardous chemicals, substances, and wastes.

EPA - Hazardous substances are those substances listed in 40 CFR 116-117 that pose a threat to the environment when discharged or spilled quantities exceed the specified amounts (reportable quantities – also listed in USFK Reg 201-1, Table B-4).

OSHA - Chemicals, chemical mixtures, or natural products that are physical or human health hazards.

3.3 CONTAINERS

3.3.1 ACQUISITION

New/off-the-shelf HMs will be maintained in their original containers for use in work areas or transferred to appropriate resealable containers with secondary labels.

Collection/accumulation containers for used HM collection (like fuels collected for energy recovery) will be obtained from the LRC waste management contractor.

3.3.2 CONDITION/MANAGEMENT. Containers used to hold HMs must be in good condition.

7 For Official Use Only

HM containers will be stored in such a manner so that labels are easily visible.

If a container holding a HM is not in good condition (signs of bulging, pitting, rusting, or denting) or begins to leak, the contents will be transferred to a serviceable, approved container.

Containers will be inspected weekly for leaks, corrosion, rust, and open containers.

A container will always be kept closed except when adding or removing HM.

A container will not be opened, handled, or stored in a manner that may rupture the container or cause it to leak.

Incompatible HMs will not be placed in the same container (See Paragraph 3.9).

Containers will be compatible with the HMs they contain.

HM containers that are incompatible with other HM containers will not be stored next to each other without a means of segregation and/or secondary containment.

HM containers must not be exposed to snow, ice, and/or rain accumulation.

3.3.3 LABELING AND MARKING

3.3.3.1 Original Containers/Off-The-Shelf Stocks

Hazardous material containers supplied by product manufacturers must be labeled, tagged, or otherwise marked with the following information:

Name(s) of the hazardous chemical(s) in the product

Hazard identifications using words, pictures, and/or symbols (flammable, toxic, etc.)

Name, address, and phone number of the manufacturer, importer, or other designated responsible party

Immediate hazards/consequences of improper handling (burns, blisters, nausea, etc.)

Original product labels on HM containers will not be removed, defaced, or changed while the existing products remain inside the containers.

If a HM is transferred into a new container or the manufacturer provided label is insufficient, the information required above must be entered on a DoD hazardous chemical warning label

IAW DoDI 6050.5-H.

3.3.3.2 Used/Unserviceable HMs

“Used” means a HM was used for its intended purpose but is still managed as a HM because it may be accumulated and used for another purpose without reprocessing/reconditioning.

“Unserviceable” means a HM or its container is no longer in good condition (dried paint, dirty fuel or HM in a dented/rusted container).

8 For Official Use Only

If a HM container is required, the HAZMART contractor will provide a HM identification label for each used/unserviceable HM accumulation container.

Activities/units must label containers for transport with bilingual United Nations (UN)/U.S.

DOT hazard warning labels assigned in USFK Reg 201-1 for each applicable hazard class

(i.e. corrosive, flammable, toxic, etc.).

3.3.4 EMPTY CONTAINERS

A container that held a HM, other than a compressed gas, is empty if:

1) As much material as possible was removed using commonly employed methods (i.e., pouring, pumping, or aspiration), and:

2) No more than one inch of residue remains in the bottom of a 110-gallon or less sized container.

HM labels no longer applicable to the empty container will be removed or painted over to make them unreadable on empty containers.

All HM containers, including empty ones, must be turned into HMCP/RC for life cycle accountability and disposal.

3.3.5 COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS

A compressed gas cylinder is empty when the pressure in the cylinder approaches atmospheric pressure (no gas comes out when the valve is open).

Empty, vendor-owned, compressed gas cylinders will be turned in to the vendor.

Empty, unusable, government-owned compressed gas cylinders (damaged, deteriorating) will be turned in to the DPW waste management contractor for recycling/disposal.

3.4 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL STORAGE AREAS (HMSAs)

Hazardous material storage areas are designated areas in the workplace where HMs may be stored safely during their lifecycles. Each HMSA must be operated according to the procedures outlined in this Plan.

3.4.1 STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

HMSAs will be centrally located and easily accessible to applicable personnel.

Adequate aisle space (except in flammable storage cabinets) will be provided to allow unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment during an emergency.

All exits and entrances will be clearly marked and free from obstructions.

Manufacturers’ instructions for permissible stacking height/procedures will be followed (obtained from label or by contacting the manufacturer).

9 For Official Use Only

Expired HMs will not be stored in the HMSA unless they are awaiting transport to the

HAZMART or DLA for turn-in.

Only DoD-owned products are authorized for storage (items purchased locally with government credit cards are purchased with government funds and are therefore government property).

3.4.2 PREPAREDNESS AND PREVENTION

HMs must be used in authorized areas (e.g., spray painting in authorized booths).

HMSAs must be located such that accidental spills and discharges do not flow into sanitary sewers or storm water runoff systems.

PPE required by personnel to safely complete daily tasks will be available and easily accessible at all times.

Smoking is prohibited in or within 50 feet of HMSAs.

A fully charged fire extinguisher, approved by the Installation Safety Office, will be located so that it is readily accessible to employees without subjecting the employees to possible injury from the fire, but not more than ten feet from the door opening into any room used for HM storage.

Fire extinguishers will be inspected monthly and recharged/repaired as needed.

3.4.3 SIGN REQUIREMENT

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires placarding/signage on specific types of

HMSAs to provide information to emergency response personnel.

3.4.4 COMBUSTIBLE/FLAMMABLE MATERIAL STORAGE

All combustible/flammable storage areas will comply with the container management and HMSA provisions in this Plan. The requirements listed below are additional management/storage requirements.

Incompatible combustibles/flammables will not be stored in the same cabinet.

Combustible/flammable materials must not be stored near heat, flame, or ignition sources.

The Fire Department and/or Safety Office must approve combustible/flammable material storage locations. Safety will inspect the storage area.

3.4.4.1 Indoor Storage

Indoor storage locations must be greater than 50 feet from all ignition sources, including break rooms and smoking areas.

Indoor storage of combustible/flammable liquids in non-maintenance facilities (i.e., billets

10 For Official Use Only and office buildings) is prohibited, except for necessary maintenance and building operation supplies. Maintenance and operational stocks in non-maintenance facilities must be stored either:

1) In safety cans in a storage/supply room where no doors open directly into public use areas of the building; or

2) In containers kept in a flammable storage cabinet.

Combustible/flammable materials in all other indoor areas (maintenance bays, laboratories, logistics/supply units) will be stored in properly labeled flammable storage cabinets (see

Figure 3-1) or in specifically designed flammable storage rooms.

Consider each cylinder full unless the cylinder is tagged or marked to indicate that it does not contain positive pressure.

Segregate cylinders based on contents and cylinder condition.

Always store cylinders with their protective caps in place.

Protect cylinders from direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions.

Store all cylinders away from heat sources (furnaces, steam lines, radiators).

Secure cylinders into laying or upright positions with chains to prevent accidental tipping.

Remove valves and tag/mark empty cylinders.

Handle and store used cylinders in the same manner as newly filled cylinders.

Never place an empty compressed gas cylinder into a solid waste dumpster (See Paragraph 3.3.5 for empty cylinder guidance).

3.4.5.1 Large Compressed Gas Cylinder Management

A large compressed gas cylinder is greater than 20 pounds.

Store cylinders on level footing outside of occupied buildings and away from traffic lanes.

Prominently mark the hazard classification or the gas name(s) in the container storage area.

Separate/segregate cylinders by content compatibility:

Maintain safe distances between incompatibles and/or

Utilize non-combustible barriers at least five feet high with fire resistance ratings of at least one-half hour.

Tag/mark cylinders as “Empty” that no longer contain enough pressure for use and return them to their designated storage areas or cages for turn-in.

13 For Official Use Only

Figure 3-2. Gas Cylinder Storage Cage

3.4.5.2 Small Compressed Flammable Gas Cylinders (2.5 pounds or less)

Store in a secured and ventilated lockable flammable cabinet marked “Flammable

Gas” (cabinet may be placed in a caged compressed gas storage area).

Store all new cylinders in UNOPENED boxes until all partially full cylinders in the inventory are empty.

Reissue partially filled cylinders until they are empty prior to issuing new cylinders.

All useable, empty cylinders will be stored in the flammable gas locker in a cardboard box designated for used cylinder storage (use of original box is recommended) until sufficient quantities exist for turn-in.

See Paragraph 3.3.5 for empty cylinder turn-in requirements.

3.5 SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Activities/units must continually strive to minimize HM usage and resulting HW generation amounts.

This requirement must be incorporated into all contracts to ensure that government contractors also make efforts to minimize HM usage.

3.5.1 SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDSs)

Activities/units will maintain an SDS file that contains the most current SDS supplied by the chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor for each HM in stock at each work station.

The activity/unit SDS file will be an accurate representation of all HMs used.

All employees working with HMs will know the SDS file location and have access to it at all times.

If a current HM SDS is not provided during shipment/procurement or if a SDS is lost, utilize the

14 For Official Use Only following resources for assistance in obtaining a new SDS:

LRC Hazardous Material Control Center (HAZMART), 753-7710/7754 https://www.my.af.mil/esoh-sds/eesoh-sds/sds/loadSdsSearch.action

Safety Office, 753-5581

DPW, Environmental Division, 753-7807

3.5.2 AUTHORIZED USER LIST (AUL)

The AUL concept is essential to this program. The AUL is a list of approved processes and associated HMs for use by activities/units. The AUL is used to control HM acquisition, identify types of HM usage, estimate HW generation, prepare environmental reports, and assist with P2 initiatives.

The AUL includes HMs and unit of issue (UI) items.

The AUL can be obtained from:

EESOH-MIS

LRC HAZMART, 753-7710, or LRC HW Manager, 753-7754

3.5.3 ORDERING/PROCUREMENT

3.5.3.1 Hazardous Material Control Point/Redistribution Center (HMCP/RC)

The LRC operates the HMCP/RC, or HAZMART, on USAG Humphreys. Activities/units on

USAG Humphreys are required to utilize the HMCP/RC.

3.5.3.2 Approval

Prior to ordering a new (never stocked) HM or implementing a new chemical process, activity/units must review the AUL to ensure the chemical, product, and/or process is approved for use.

If a HM and its generating process is on the AUL, activity/unit personnel may order it and use it only for the approved process/processes.

If a new HM or chemical process is not on the AUL, the activity/unit must submit an the activity/unit must submit an approval request in EESOH-MIS to obtain formal approval for it prior to procurement/purchase of the new chemical (never stocked before) and its chemical process.

Activity/unit personnel will not order any HM that was not authorized in EESOH-MIS.

Activity/unit personnel will purchase recycled materials when economically feasible.

3.5.3.3 GPC Government Purchase Card

GPC Training: The Environmental Division provides guidance on local purchasing of HM during the initial and refresher courses. Generally, GPCs are not used for procurement of

HM.

15 For Official Use Only

If a GPC must be used for HM purchase, cardholders must process these purchases through the LRC HAZMART and Environmental Division for approval prior to purchasing HMs.

Additionally, after these purchases are made, a copy of the purchase request will be provided to these offices.

3.5.4 SHELF LIFE AND STOCK ROTATION

Store HMs by product date and batch number.

Maintain appropriate stock levels by procuring HMs in the smallest UI and quantity that will satisfy the activity/unit mission/demand.

Implement first-in/first-out procedures by using stocks with the oldest dates first to ensure HMs are not stocked beyond their shelf lives.

Refer to AR 710-2 (3-30a(1)) for additional stock rotation instructions.

Check all HMs monthly for expired shelf lives. Refer to the DoD shelf-life website, https://www.shelflife.dla.mil/site/default.aspx, to request a shelf life extension.

3.6 INVENTORIES

Each activity will maintain a HM inventory for each HMSA.

Activities will maintain a 100 percent cross-match between the HMs listed on the inventory and the SDSs maintained on file.

3.7 COMPATIBILITY

Many HMs, when mixed with other materials, can produce effects that are harmful to human health and the environment. Effects include; (1) heat or pressure, (2) fire or explosion, (3) violent reaction, (4) toxic dust, mists, fumes, or gases, or (5) flammable fumes or gases.

Incompatible materials must never be stored in the same container. Additionally, containers holding materials that are incompatible with materials stored in nearby containers will be separated or protected from each other by means of a wall, berm, or other device to prevent mixing. Guides such as the EPA’s

Chemical Compatibility Chart are helpful in determining which materials are incompatible.

16 For Official Use Only

SECTION 4

HAZCOM

4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

In order to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals are evaluated and that information concerning their hazards is transmitted to employees, USAG Humphreys requires that facilities storing or using hazardous materials institute a hazard communication (HAZCOM) program. The garrison safety office is the lead agency for this program.

4.2 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

A HAZCOM program can consist of labels and other forms of warning, safety data sheets, and information and training. Employers shall develop, implement, and maintain at each workplace, a written hazard communication program which at least describes how labels and other forms of warning, material safety data sheets, and employee information and training will be met. A sample HAZCOM program is presented in Appendix C.

4.3 LABELS AND OTHER FORMS OF WARNING

The employer shall ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals leaving the workplace is labeled, tagged or marked with the identity of the hazardous chemical(s), the appropriate hazard warnings, and the name and address of the chemical manufacturer.

4.4 SAFETY DATA SHEETS

Employers shall have a safety data sheet in the workplace for each hazardous chemical which they use.

Each safety data sheet shall be in English and Korean, and shall contain the identity used on the label, if the hazardous chemical is a single substance, its chemical and common name(s), if the hazardous chemical is a mixture which has been tested as a whole to determine its hazards, the chemical and common name(s) of the ingredients which contribute to these known hazards, and the common name(s) of the mixture itself.

4.5 EMPLOYEE INFORMATION AND TRAINING

Employers shall provide employees with effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new physical or health hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area. Information and training may be designed to cover categories of hazards (e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity) or specific chemicals. Chemical-specific information must always be available through labels and safety data sheets.

Employees shall be informed of any operations in their work area where hazardous chemicals are present and the location and availability of the written hazard communication program, including the required list(s) of hazardous chemicals, and safety data sheets required by this section. Employee training shall include at least the methods and observations that may be used to detect the presence or release of a hazardous chemical in the work area (such as monitoring conducted by the employer, continuous monitoring devices, visual appearance or odor of hazardous chemicals when being released, etc.), the physical and health hazards of the chemicals in the work area, and the measures employees can take to

17 For Official Use Only protect themselves from these hazards, including specific procedures the employer has implemented to protect employees from exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as appropriate work practices, emergency procedures, and personal protective equipment to be used, and the details of the hazard communication program developed by the employer, including an explanation of the labeling system and the safety data sheet, and how employees can obtain and use the appropriate hazard information.
