 Direct ordering.

 Extend shelf life.

 Regenerate spent material.

 Downgrade and reuse spent material.

 Reuse for other purposes.

 Combinations of the above.

Hazardous materials required for testing petroleum products can be some of the most dangerous substances

in use. Most of the hazardous materials used to perform the various tests in the petroleum lab are not

substitutable. Therefore, supervisors have to focus the hazardous materials management efforts on

minimization and conservative use of these materials.

PART K - UNIT RECYCLING PROGRAM

Ensure that subordinates are familiar with and participate in the recycling program. You can verify support

among your unit by ensuring that all recyclable materials are being recycled, such as:

 Computer paper.

 Corrugated cardboard.

 Newspaper.

 High-grade white paper.

 Aluminum cans.

 Plastics.

 Oil.

 Solvents.

 Glass.

 Steel.

 Brass.

Make sure that recyclable material is separated at the source. Contaminated or otherwise unrecyclable

material should be removed, cleaned, or properly disposed of. Check with the Installation Environmental

Office to verify and get information on the material being recycled in your area.

PART L - IMPLEMENTING TECHNIQUES TO AVOID OVERUSE OR

POLLUTION

Implementation of techniques to protect training area land can be accomplished by integrating them into the

Environmental Risk Assessment Matrices, Mission Planning, SOP, Orders, and Training/Performance

Standards.

PART M - VERIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT, PERSONNEL, AND CORRECT

PROCEDURES TO CONTAIN AND CLEAN UP A HAZMAT SPILL

Equipment and material required for each work area can be found in the local unit ISCP and SPCC. Prior to

beginning any laboratory operation, conduct an inspection of the petroleum laboratory to verify the

presence/condition of the following hazardous materials spill containment and cleanup equipment/materials:

 Solusorb Solvent Absorbent.

 Gloves.

 Scoops.

 Disposal bag/tie/label.

 Instructions.

Periodically check the equipment/materials for serviceability, making sure that they are in serviceable

condition. Ensure that personnel are familiar with the local unit ISCP and SPCC.
