6.1 Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures that protect 国产偷拍 employees, students, affiliated personnel, visitors, and the environment from significant health risks of known pollutants.
6.2 Policy Statement and Applicability
All 国产偷拍 employees, students, affiliated personnel, and visitors are responsible for complying with all applicable federal and state environmental laws.
Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) is responsible for monitoring compliance with all applicable federal and state environmental laws, including the application and receipt of required permits, and the gathering and reporting of required environmental compliance data.
6.3 Environmental Compliance
The 国产偷拍 strives to minimize environmental impacts from our daily operations through the implementation of an environmental management system. As part of this system all regulated waste must be disposed of in accordance with the policies and procedures detailed in the appropriate 国产偷拍 safety manual or plan maintained by EH&S, including but not limited to the 国产偷拍 Laboratory Safety Manual, Radiation Safety Manual, and the Biosafety Manual.
Prior to the start of any activity involving a hazardous material, plans must be made for proper handling, safe containment to prevent release to the environment, and ultimate disposal of surplus amounts of the hazardous material or waste generated. EH&S should be contacted for guidance prior to the start of an activity for guidance in determining methods available for identifying suitable alternatives to hazardous materials, minimizing hazardous waste, and for the planning of new hazardous waste streams.
EH&S will serve as the point of contact for the 国产偷拍 before all regulatory agencies having environmental authority. This includes, but is not limited to, all matters pertaining to hazardous waste management, asbestos project monitoring and abatement, air quality permitting, storm water management, annual hazardous waste summaries, Universal Waste records, fuel usage reports, air emission calculations and reports, toxic substances release and spill reporting, mold-related activities, and other environmental data as may be required by law or governmental regulations.
The 国产偷拍 community shall comply with placarding and signage, training requirements, waste containment practices and procedures, as well as any reporting requirements requested by EH&S in the performance of its duties in support of the 国产偷拍’s obligation of environmental compliance.
