- Meets the defining criteria for a Hazard Class, 49 CFR part 173
- Materials that are a Hazardous Substance (EPA reg in DOT rule)
- Materials that are a Hazardous Waste, EPA RCRA regulated

## Who Regulated HM?

## What About My Material?

- 1st : CLASSIFY it into a Hazard Class
- 2nd : Identify the REQUIREMENTS
- 3rd : Identify the EXCEPTIONS
- 4th : Do you qualify for the exceptions
- 5th : Use the exceptions
- 6th : Package the material
- 7th : Verify and Transport

## 172.101 Table, HMT

- This is the “Backbone” to the regulations
- Start here in Classification
- Materials listed by
- Technical Name
- End Use/Product Name
- Generic Chemical/Use Family
- Hazard Class Name (requires other classification first)

## Multiple Hazard Materials

- If your material meets multiple definitions you must:
- Identify each Hazard Class/Division
- Go to the Precedence of Hazard Table
- Found at 173.2a
- Determine the PRIMARY HAZARD
- Return to the HMT and look for a Hazard Class Name that includes all SUBSIDARY HAZARDS

## Multiple Hazard Materials 

- BE CAUTIOUS
- Multiple hazards may remove you or limit you from the Small Quantity Exception Usage
- Toxic Subsidiary Hazards may eliminate you
- Radioactive materials are not allowed by ANL Policy (consult with the SPM/Shipping Staff)

## Small Quantity Exception 

- DOT has an _*EXCEPTION*_ for small quantities
- 49CFR173.4 Contains Requirements
- ANL Exemption to the Transportation Safety Manual more restrictive
- Special requirements for air shipments in IATA
- Label/marking, packaging, inner packaging

## Quantity Limitations Apply

- For 6.1 PG I Maximum per inner container is 1 gram
- For all others Maximum per inner container is 30 grams or 30 milliliter
- Outer package may contain only one hazard class per package
- Maximum package limit is 29 kg (64 lb.)

## Tested Packaging is Required

- Package that has been tested available from the APS Stock Room
- Packages must be tested in configuration used
- From 6 feet all packages withstand
- 1 drop on top, bottom, long side, short side,

## Packaging Requirements

- Cushioning and absorbent must:
- Not react with material
- Be capable of absorbing entire contents
- Receptacles packed in inner packaging, then placed into outer
- Outer package must be _***sealed***_, and may not be opened during transportation.

## Safety

- For all packages received:
- Competent person must inspect packages for:
- signs of leakage
- significant damage to packaging
- Must be performed before the package if opened
- Use this inspection to verify that all materials have been disclosed to the CAT/beamline group, compare against ESAF
- If package is acceptable release to user.

## Leaking or Suspect Packages

- If package appears to be damaged:
- Place package in the nearest fume hood
- Be sure there are no incompatibles in the hood
- Close sash to fully closed position
- Block or close drains
- Contact the APS Chemical Hygiene Officer
- Contact shipper and user if possible
- Verify contents of package from documentation

## Leaking or Suspect Packages

- If leaking contact 911 for assistance
- Notify the Floor Coordinator or the APS Chemical Hygiene Officer
- If shipper can provide appropriate information, continue with package inspection
- If outer packaging is damaged, but contents are not, release contents to user.

## Leaking or Suspect Packages

- Packaging and Waste Materials
- Treat materials as a Hazardous Waste
- Contact EMO-Waste Management for guidance if required or
- Contact APS Chemical Hygiene Officer for guidance
- If packaging appears contaminated
- Move to satellite accumulation area in another container
- Mark the container “Suspect Hazardous Waste”
- Do not intermingle with other wastes

## Leaking or Suspect Packages

- Package and Contents Breached
- Seek guidance from EMO-Waste Management on disposal
- Treat as hazardous waste
- Do not attempt to recover materials
- May be attempted after appropriate safety review has been completed
- Only allowed if appropriately characterized and adequate controls in place
- CAT management has authorized work to proceed
- Written procedures for recovery may be needed.

## Leaking or Suspect Packages

- Actions required
- CAT management must consult with APS Chemical Hygiene Officer to:
