1. Overview

   The purposes of this policy are:

   1. 通过确定适当的处理程序，保护人类和环境免受有害物质的负面影响, storing, and disposing of hazardous materials;

   2. To ensure that Ohio university complies with all federal, state, and local regulations regarding hazardous materials, hazardous waste, biohazards materials, and spill response;

   3. To delineate areas of responsibility.

   Ohio university will obtain, handle, store, 以保护人类和环境的方式处置有害物质，并遵守适用的法规. 有害物质的所有者和使用者应以符合本要求的方式处理这些物质，并遵循本文件中提到的所有程序.

2. Definitions

   危险废物通常是一种不再需要的非放射性化学物质. See the following discussion and, for a detailed regulatory definition, the "Hazardous Materials Management Manual."

   1. Hazardous materials

      有害物质是指对人类健康和安全构成重大风险的任何化学品或材料, the environment, or facilities. This includes licensed radioactive materials, biohazard agents, 危险化学品和CERCLA 42 USC 9601(14)或USDOT 49 CFR 172规定的任何危险物质.101.

      The hazard may arise from exposure by one or more routes, including skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion, or in the case of radioactive materials even by time spent in proximity, without direct physical contact. In addition to splashing and flowing, liquids may also disperse through the air as vapors or aerosols, and dusts or powders may disperse through the air as well.

   2. Hazardous chemicals

      危险化学品是指根据至少一项按照既定科学原则进行的研究，有统计上显著证据表明接触该化学品的人可能产生急性或慢性健康影响的化学品.

   3. Hazardous materials waste

      危险物质废物符合下列一项或多项标准:

      1. A waste or combination of wastes as defined in 40 CFR 261.3;

      2. Those substances defined as hazardous wastes in 49 CFR 171.8; or

      3. Substances defined as hazardous waste in Chapter 3734, or Chapter 3745. of the Revised Code, or Chapter 3745. of the Administrative Code.

   4. Radioactive waste

      放射性废物是任何不再需要的物质，并且已知其放射性(产生电离辐射)大于本底水平.

   5. Biohazardous waste

      生物危害废物是指不再需要的、含有或可能含有生物危害剂的任何物质. For detailed regulatory definition, see the "Biosafety Manual," and state regulations, or contact EHS.

   6. PCB waste

      多氯联苯废物是任何不再需要的物质，包括已被不同程度氯化的联苯分子. 有关详细的法规定义，请参见“有害物质管理手册”."

   7. Asbestos waste

      石棉废物是已被移走或收集并标记为废物的石棉材料. 有关详细的法规定义，请参见“石棉管理计划”."

   8. Other terminology

      多重危险废物是指含有下列两种或两种以上废物的废物, radioactive, or hazardous waste.

      Mixed waste is multi-hazardous waste that includes radioactive material.

      特别规管废物是指任何引起公众关注并受到特别规管的废物. The previous seven wastes are examples of such waste.

3. Identifying hazardous materials

   有三种主要工具用于确定材料是否有害以及如何处理它:

   1. Specific written documentation, such as the "Material Safety Data Sheet" (MSDS), the container label, or shipping papers. (A MSDS is a regulatory document that is required to be provided by the manufacturer to the user; the sheet contains pertinent safety information.)

   2. 各种法规中包含的材料的具体清单和定义. These lists and definitions are contained in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, the Revised Code, and the Administrative Code, all of which may be found at Alden library and on the internet.

   3. Personal knowledge (an individual may have created the material, or know very specific information about the material's properties).

   If hazardous material status cannot be determined, 致电环境健康和安全(“EHS”)，并要求有害物质经理进行审查. 在确定为无害物质之前，未知物质将被视为有害物质.

4. Acquiring hazardous materials

   Hazardous materials must be aquired as described in policy 55.031.

5. Using hazardous materials

   Hazardous materials users are directed to the EHS "Hazardous Materials Management Manual" for specific policies, procedures, and practices. 该手册包括安全使用有害物质和遵守法律法规所需的信息和管理工具.

   In addition to the "Hazardous Materials Management Manual," material handling procedures can be found by:

   1. Referring to the "Ohio University Biosafety Manual";

   2. Referring to the EHS "Radiation Safety Handbook";

   3. Using the environmental health and safety (EHS) web site; or

   4. By contacting the EHS office, at 740-593-1666.

6. Disposal of hazardous materials

   此处列出的废物类型的产生者应联系EHS以获得指导, prior to generation of waste. 废物产生者将以这样一种方式处理废物，以保护人和环境的安全与健康, comply with all university procedures (listed in this policy), and comply with applicable regulations.

   1. Hazardous waste

      Follow the chemical waste procedures available at:

      1. EHS website for chemical waste
