Material Storage
19
Material Storage

• According to the type of HAZMAT, certain storage
  procedures must be applied.
• For example, do not mix flammables and toxic
  materials, or flammables and corrosives,
  together.
• The safest practice is to draw only the amount of
  material that can be used that day.

20
Material Storage

• Storing hazardous materials on the job site
  requires the use of approved containers.
• Containers must be placed a minimum of 50 feet
  away from any ignition device or source.
• Plan for the delivery of proper storage
  equipment before hazardous materials are
  delivered to job site.

• a. HAZMINCIN b. CHRIMP
• c. HICS d. AUL
• Reference Hazardous Inventory Control System

37
Terminology

• HAZMINCEN
• Central Hazardous Materials Center for an
  installation.
• Responsible for procurement and inventory
  management activities.

38
Terminology

• CHRIMP
• Consolidated Hazardous Material Reutilization
  Inventory Management Program
• Purpose
• Reduce Costs
• Protect navy and other personnel from unnecessary
  exposure to Hazardous Waste and Material

39
Terminology

• CHRIMP
• Minimizes the Navys long-term risk for liability
  associated with HW disposal.
• Comply with all Federal, state, and local
  environmental statutes, laws, and regulations.

40
Terminology
HICS Hazardous Inventory Control
System Prepares reports for administration
purposes of the HAZMAT inventory. A combined
program with CHRIMP Both CHRIMP AND HICS are
being replaced with Hazardous Substance
Management System (HSMS). This program provides
the same functions.
41
Terminology
AUL Authorized User List Addresses both types
and quantities of HM authorized for use by
individual activities.
42
Spill Containment

• PQS Question 105.10 Describe the aspects of
  portable containment of oil spills on water.
• Reference NAVEDTRA 12543, Naval
  Construction Force/Seabee 1 C

43
Spill Containment

• An oil slick on the surface of the water blocks
  the flow of oxygen from the atmosphere into the
  water.
• Booming of spills has proved to be effective in
  containing spills of liquids on relatively calm
  and current-free waters.

44
Spill Containment

• Following confinement of oil spills on water,
  various methods of removing the confined liquid
  have been used.
• Absorbents, such as straw, plastics, sawdust, and
  peat moss are spread on the surface of the spill
  and then collected and burned on shore.

45
Spill Containment

• Skimming devices operate on a different principle
  and must include pumps and separators.
• Skimmers scoop up the oil and water and send them
  through an oil separator and rollers to which
  only the oil adheres.
• The oil is then removed by scraping and
  compression.

46
Special Considerations

• PQS Question 105.11 Describe the following
• Oil Spills
• Grubbing operations
• Asbestos
• Polychlorinated biphenyl's (PCB)
• Hazardous warning labels
• Reference Code of Federal Regulations, Part 29

47
Special Considerations

• Clearing Spills
• Completely remove all contaminated soil from the
  site to a facility or landfill that is designed
  to receive such material.
• Must be done carefully so that the underlying and
  adjacent soil is not contaminated by the removal
  process.

48
Special Considerations

• Grubbing Operations
• Large scale clearing in initial stages of a
  project can produce damaging side effects
• Increased soil erosion
• Reduction of atmospheric oxygen
• Destruction of wildlife habitat

49
Special Considerations

• Preventive measures
• Save as much vegetation as possible
• Construct shallow trench around project
• Burn only when necessary and after obtaining a
• burn permit.
• Do not use petroleum-based fuels to start fires.

• .

50
Special Considerations
Asbestos Fibrous material used extensively from
the 1930s to the 1960s Covered by OPNAVINST
5100.23 As a rule, NCF DOES NOT do asbestos
work
51
Special Considerations

• Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
• Group of toxic chemicals used extensively as
  insulators and coolers in electrical equipment,
  especially transformers
• Causes irritation to eyes, skin, and lungs, also
  suspected of causing cancer Accumulate in the
  environment and are absorbed into human fat
  tissues.

52
Special Considerations
Actions Secure the site Notify the activity
environmental coordinator and the EPA branch or
division
53
Hazard Warning Labels
54
Hazard Warning Labels

• The Department of Transportation(DOT) labeling
  system.
• A diamond shaped symbol with 4 segments.
• The three upper parts reflect hazards relative to
  health, fire, and reactivity.
• The lower part reflects the specific hazard
  peculiar to the material.

55
Hazard Warning Labels

• The four hazards the labels are designed to
  illustrate are
• Health Hazard The ability of the material to
  either directly or indirectly cause temporary or
  permanent injury or incapacitation
• Fire Hazard The ability of the material to burn
  when exposed to heat source.

56
Hazard Warning Labels
Reactivity Hazard The ability of the material
to release energy when in contact with
water. Specific Hazard This term relates to a
special hazard concerning the particular product
or chemical which was not covered by other
labeled hazard items.
57
Hazard Warning Labels
The degree of hazard is expressed by a numerical
code 4 extremely dangerous 3 dangerous
hazard 2 moderate hazard 1 slight hazard 0
no hazard
