Kearney, Inc., under contract to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6, for the Compliance Assurance and Enforcement Division of EPA Region 6. The idea to construct the handbook came from a RCRA workgroup composed of members of several oil and gas companies, the American Petroleum Institute (API), the Texas Mid Continent Oil and Gas Association (TMOGA), EPA, and environmental consulting firms. The RCRA workgroup is one of several workgroups making up the “Refinery Roundtable.” The overall mission of the Refinery Roundtable is to develop methods by which petroleum refineries can achieve better compliance with the environmental regulations. This handbook is to be used solely as guidance and cannot be relied upon to create any rights, substantive or procedural enforceable by any party in litigation with the United States.

  • DURABLE DRUM LABEL PRODUCTS Reference Guide
    Experts in “What If...” DURABLE DRUM LABEL PRODUCTS Reference Guide DURABLE DRUM LABEL PRODUCTS September 2018 Experts in “What If...” GHS Related Changes and Impact on Labeling Chemical drums transporting dangerous materials are subject to stringent safety regulations. Whether that container is being transported overseas, across highways or dispensed into a smaller container and moved from one end of the manufacturing floor to the other; the label on the container must communicate environmental, physical and health hazard information. The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) is a system created to standardize how chemical and hazardous information is communicated in manufacturing facilities and other workplaces. Quite simply, it is a global system for the classification, identification and labeling of chemicals. The objectives of GHS are to increase workplace safety, standardize products internationally and increase productivity. GHS effectively gives the world a common language for chemical identification and the implementation is required by law. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code is a global system developed by the International Maritime Organization to enhance the safe transportation of dangerous goods, protect the marine environment and facilitate the free unrestricted movement of dangerous goods. If chemicals being transported require IMDG certification and a self-adhesive label is being used, that label must be BS 5609 certified. GHS defines what information and in what

  • Plastic Drum & IBC Packaging Guideline for NFPA Code 30
    Plastic Drum & IBC Packaging Guideline For NFPA Code 30 January 1, 2005 This paper was prepared and endorsed by the Plastic Drum Institute (PDI), International Confederation of Plastic Packaging Manufacturers (ICPP), the Rigid Intermediate Bulk Container association (RIBCA) and the Reusable Industrial Packaging Association (RIPA) ¹. This paper provides a guideline for the alignment of the recommended practices in NFPA Code 30 at it relates to the proper use of industrial plastic drums & IBC’s. The 2003 edition of Code 30 was used in preparing this primer. The paper will provide a step-by-step process for users of industrial plastic drums & IBC’s to help in determining if the code applies to their products, and if so how this code is applicable. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is an international standards organization, with offices in Quincy, MA (USA) that focuses on fire and safety issues. NFPA Code 30 provides (a) definitions and classification of liquids as flammable and combustible, as well as general definitions, (b) reasonable requirements for the safe storage, handling and use of flammable and combustible liquids, and (c) explanatory material used in code development and approval. The NFPA has no power, nor does it undertake, to police or enforce compliance with the codes. NFPA does not list, certify, test or inspect products, designs or installations for code compliance. NFPA does not involve itself with container transportation regulations that are governed by DOT (US Department of Transportation), Transport Canada or the UN Recommendations for the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Contact NFPA to purchase the complete NFPA Code 30 for additional details.

  • The Truth About Salvage Drums There Is Confusion in the Marketplace Regarding Salvage Drums
    The Truth About Salvage Drums There is confusion in the marketplace regarding salvage drums. The term “overpack” has become synonymous with “salvage drum” in recent years, and there are many products on the market, which look like salvage drums, but are not. What is a salvage drum? Salvage drums are designed to contain packages of hazardous materials that are damaged, defective, or found leaking. The drums are regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) under 49 CFR 173.3 (c). If a company or shipper has a leaking package of hazardous material, sorbents, or rags used on a spill or leak, and they wish to ship them across public roads, they must use a salvage drum under the restrictions of 173.3 (c). The salvage drum is larger than the leaking package allowing the leaking package to be placed inside the salvage drum for safe shipment to a disposal or treatment facility. The salvage drum must be compatible with the lading in the leaking package. Shipments that do not follow the DOT Hazardous Materials regulations are shipping illegally and could face fines, typically $250.00 - $25,000.00 per violation, levied by the DOT. Salvage drums can be made of steel, polyethylene, aluminum, or metal and must pass, at a minimum, standard UN performance requirements for drums shipping solids as well as a three psi, air leakproof test. If a drum meets the requirements as stipulated by DOT under 49 CFR 173.3 (c), then it is to be marked with the appropriate UN markings, proper shipping name of the material, name and address of the consignee, and the words “Salvage Drum.” It is illegal to omit these markings from salvage drums prepared in accordance with 173.3 (c).
