Mining Industry

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 15:01:57 +0000

The Mining Industry has a reputation of being fraught with occupational hazards. Miners must contend with coal dust, hazardous chemicals, constant noise, and a plethora of other various health hazards. To minimize the risk of detrimental health effects on workers, it is necessary to have proper workplace safety rules in place and to follow them religiously.

The mining industry also generates considerable solid waste during the extraction and processing of raw materials. According to the EPA, some of these materials can be labeled as “special wastes” and are not regulated by federal hazardous waste stipulations, but many others are subject to the RCRA.

To ensure that you are in compliance with all federal and local regulations, Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc. can assess your facility, train employees in workplace health and safety requirements, and manage any waste generated. Contact Clean Management to learn more about how we can assist your mining industry business.

Transportation

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:26:11 +0000

In any industry, but especially in one where workers are regularly operating motorized heavy equipment, workers’ safety needs to be a top consideration. Due to inherent operating conditions, the Transportation Industry has jobs with some of the highest fatalities. OSHA governs workers’ health and safety in the transportation industry, tasking employers with establishing compliant safety protocols for warehouses, docks, construction sites, and any other place that their drivers go while on the job.

The transportation industry also has unique needs in its waste management process. Trucks that move hazardous waste are bound by regulations from several federal, state, and local authorities. These agencies may have overlapping authorities, but transporters must comply with whichever regulations are the most stringent.

To ensure that you are in compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations, Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc. can assess your facility and transportation fleet, manage any waste generated, and train employees in OSHA-compliant conduct. Contact Clean Management to learn more about how we can assist your business in the transportation industry.

Utilities

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:25:56 +0000

The Utility Industry routinely exposes its workers to risks that must be monitored to keep employees safe. A number of workers routinely operate alone at outdoor sites, high-voltage substations, and treatment facilities, which makes it critical to know and consistently follow all occupational health and safety regulations. Even those who are not working alone may operate in hazardous conditions; they may be exposed to air contaminants, cold and heat stress, noise pollution, and heavy machinery. To keep workers safe, OSHA requirements and any internal regulations on personal protective equipment must be followed.

To ensure that you are in compliance with all federal and local regulations, Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc. can assess your facility, train your managers on OSHA compliance, and manage any waste generated. In addition to our training services, we offer things such as tank cleaning, daylighting, hydro excavation, spill cleanup, and emergency response to hazardous situations.

Railway

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:25:45 +0000

Although tank spills and other railway incidents may be widely publicized, a much larger percentage of hazardous and nonhazardous waste in the Railway Industry is generated when the machinery is cleaned and maintained. Actions such as painting, degreasing parts, removing rust, and unloading tank trucks and rail cars can all produce solid waste that is regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Workers in the railway industry must comply with not just OSHA requirements, but also those of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). These two regulating bodies do not always cover the same things, but managers must stay current on regulations from both.

RCRA regulations change depending on what your generator size is, and individual states may also have their own regulations with which to comply. To ensure that you are in compliance with all federal and state regulations, Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc. can assess your facility, manage any waste generated, and train workers on OSHA requirements. Contact Clean Management to learn more about how we can assist your railway industry business.

Retail

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:25:29 +0000

The hazardous waste produced by the retail industry comprises goods such as household cleaners, aerosol cans, and batteries. Each of these meets definitions for hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

In recent years, the EPA has increased attention on the retail industry due to waste mismanagement by major players, but it has recognized that this industry has unique needs. Unlike in many other industries, the retail industries regularly contends with a reverse distribution process of unsaleable items that become hazardous waste when disposed. Staying regulation compliant throughout this reversed process is one more step with which the retail industry must contend.

To ensure that you are in compliance with all federal and state regulations, Clean Management can assess your retail facility and manage any waste generated. Contact Clean Management to learn more about how we can assist your business.

Refinery

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:25:18 +0000

The Refinery Industry is comprised of businesses that transform raw materials into forms of utilizable material. Crude oil is refined into petroleum products with more value through distillation and reforming processes that create waste and raise safety concerns for workers. The products created from the refining process are considered hazardous throughout the cycle of generation.

Some of the risks involved in this industry include fires, explosions, contaminated air, and exposure to other hazardous chemicals. Employees may also need to enter confined spaces, which requires proper training.

To ensure that you are in compliance with all federal and local regulations, Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc. can assess your facility and manage any waste generated. We offer tank cleaning, confined spaces training, and more services relevant to the refinery industry. Contact Clean Management to learn more about how we can assist your business in remaining regulation compliant and safe for your workers.

Power Generation

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:25:05 +0000

In the process of producing power that fuels our daily activities, the Power Generation Industry also generates hazardous and nonhazardous waste products. These are generated while the plants are active and in the course of decommissioning. Decommissioning power plants comes with unique needs related to unused chemicals, radioactive fuel rods, NORM, and excess inventory.

In addition to hazardous and nonhazardous waste products that may be generated by facilities in the power generation industry, companies in this line of work must make certain that their workers are prepared for and protected against on-the-job risks such as electrical and chemical hazards. Proper personnel training and site maintenance can help to reduce workplace risks.

To ensure that you are in compliance with all federal and state regulations, Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc. can assess your power generation facility and manage any waste created. We also provide training to keep your facility personnel up to date with the latest health and safety requirements.

Oil & Gas

dRhnZrAvDvuT — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:24:54 +0000

The Oil and Gas Industry must be especially prudent in monitoring the environmental and public health impact of its actions, especially with the rise of hydraulic fracturing. Hazardous waste produced from this industry are generally regulated by the RCRA, but some are subject to the E&P Exemption, which classifies them as nonhazardous wastes and passes regulatory duties over to another governing body. Each law developed under the RCRA is required to be reviewed and revised at least every three years.

The oil and gas industry can be broken down into three sectors: upstream, midstream, and downstream. Upstream is comprised of exploration and production (E&P), midstream is processing and refining of upstream products, and downstream is further refining and marketing (R&M). Each of these sectors has different waste disposal and safety regulation needs.

Because regulations in this particular industry are subject to relatively frequent changes, it can be a challenge to stay up to date if you are not in the business of doing so. Let the experts at Clean Management Environmental Group, Inc. keep track of that for you, so that you can focus on your business. Contact Clean Management to learn more about how we can assist your business in the oil and gas industry.
