6. APPLICABILITY
This general instruction is applicable to all forms of waste including process wastes, clinically wastes
and general site trash. Additionally, it will apply to those materials that may be recycled / reused rather
than being disposed.

7. DEFINITIONS
Waste Classification (quoted from Hazardous waste management Regulations)

Hazardous Waste: These are defined as any solid, semi-solid, liquid, or contained gaseous waste,
or combination of such wastes, which may because of its quantity, concentration, physical or
characteristics pose a hazard or potential hazard to human health or the environmental when
improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of otherwise managed. These wastes shall
include chemicals identified as discarded commercial chemical products, off-specification
products/chemicals, containers, residues.

7.1 Collection of waste

For Spent Oil:
 Reusable drums are used for spent oil collection. Before collection the drums are
checked for their integrity to avoid any leakage/spillage during storage. The drums are
marked as “Spent Oil Drums" and after collection of spent oil they are shifted to the
designated spent oil storage yard area. While collection drums are placed on metallic trays
to prevent any soil contamination.

For Waste Batteries:

 Waste Batteries are generated during maintenance activities. The waste Batteries just
after replacement with new one, are shifted to the designated storage area. While
transferring it is ensured that acid spillage does not take place. The personnel involved
always shall put their gloves on during charging and handling activities. The Waste Batteries
are transferred in trolleys or by forklifts to reduce extent of manual handling.

Empty Chemical Drums:

 Empty chemical drums (specifically admixtures etc.) are first washed with water or
acidic/alkaline water as may be required, the wash water is channelled to the Settling tanks.
