    PUBLIC Author: Robert Taylour Agenda Item No 3(c) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL Meeting with Cabinet Member, Health and Communities 15 July 2014 Report of the Strategic Director, Health and Communities TRADING STANDARDS CONTRIBUTION TO TOBACCO CONTROL 2013-14 1. Purpose of the report: To advise the Cabinet Member, Health and Communities of steps taken by the trading standards division to reduce smoking prevalence during the previous financial year and to seek Members’ approval for the annual programme of enforcement to prevent under-age sales of tobacco and aerosol paints. 2. Information and analysis: 2.1 As the Cabinet Member is aware, smoking is still one of the biggest contributors to preventable coronary heart disease. The trading standards division – being responsible for a range of legislation that is intended to regulate the supply of tobacco and tobacco products – makes a significant contribution to tobacco control. The attached report in Appendix 2 sets out in some detail activities undertaken during the previous financial year to support both the Council’s ambition to make Derbyshire a Safer and Healthier place and also contributes to the Department of Health’s ‘Healthy Lives, Healthy People – Tobacco Control Plan for England’. 2.2 The Tobacco Control Plan for England sets out six strands with regards to tobacco control which are internationally recognised as follows: 1. stopping the promotion of tobacco; 2. making tobacco less affordable; 3. effective regulation of tobacco products; 4. helping tobacco users to quit; 5. reducing exposure to second-hand smoke; and 6. effective communications for tobacco control. 2.3 The main areas of activity that has involved the trading standards division and which contributes to at least four of the above strands include: 1.

  • Aerosol Cans Are Regulations Are Found in Made of Recyclable Steel Or Aluminum and Can Be Easily Managed As Chapters NR 600-679 Scrap Metal When Empty
    Aerosol Can Management Guidance on Hazardous Waste Requirements Introduction Aerosol spray cans contain products and propellants under pressure that can be dispensed as spray, mist or foam. Common products include Hazardous waste insecticides, cooking sprays, solvents and paints. Most aerosol cans are regulations are found in made of recyclable steel or aluminum and can be easily managed as chapters NR 600-679 scrap metal when empty. However, when aerosol cans are unusable or of the Wisconsin cannot be emptied due to defective or broken spray nozzles the remaining Administrative Code. liquids, vapors, or even the can itself, may be hazardous waste and subject to regulation. Waste aerosol cans cannot be managed as universal waste in Wisconsin. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and some states allow aerosol cans to be managed as universal waste this regulatory allowance has not been adopted in Wisconsin at this time and aerosol cans continue to require waste determinations and proper management. This publication provides waste management guidance to businesses generating hazardous waste aerosol cans. The following sections will define and discuss the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act “RCRA empty” determinations, acute hazardous waste determinations, storage requirements, puncturing requirements and hazardous waste reduction recommendations. “RCRA empty” determinations The first step to determine management requirements is to evaluate whether the waste aerosol cans are “RCRA empty” according to s. NR 661.0007, Wis. Adm. Code, and the U.S EPA’s RCRA definition of empty containers. Waste aerosol cans are “RCRA empty” when they meet all criteria listed below: 1. The aerosol cans must contain no compressed propellant (i.e., the aerosol cans release no pressure through an open, working valve).
