Hazardous material handling inspection

Handling hazardous materials is a critical aspect of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) management. This service focuses on ensuring that organizations comply with all relevant regulations and standards when managing these potentially dangerous substances. The aim is to protect not only the environment but also the health and safety of employees, surrounding communities, and any other stakeholders involved in the handling process.

Hazardous materials are those that can be harmful if they come into contact with people or the environment. These materials include chemicals, biological agents, radioactive substances, and more. Proper management involves thorough inspection to ensure that all procedures adhere strictly to safety protocols. This includes identifying potential risks, assessing risk levels, implementing controls, and regularly monitoring these processes.

The service provided by our laboratory focuses on the comprehensive evaluation of how hazardous materials are handled within your organization. Our team will assess various aspects such as storage conditions, transportation methods, worker training programs, emergency response plans, and more. Each inspection is conducted using internationally recognized standards including ISO 14001 for environmental management systems and OSHA regulations in the United States.

We understand that handling hazardous materials requires specialized knowledge and expertise. That’s why our inspectors are trained professionals who possess extensive experience working with these types of substances. They use state-of-the-art equipment to conduct inspections, ensuring accuracy and reliability throughout every step of the process.

Applied Standards

The inspection process for hazardous material handling is guided by several key standards that ensure safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Among these are:

  1. ISO 14001: Environmental Management System Standard – This international standard provides a framework for organizations to manage their environmental impacts effectively.
  2. OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standards – These regulations outline specific requirements for handling hazardous substances safely in workplace settings.
  3. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) – ASTM provides standards that cover various aspects of material testing, including those related to hazardous materials.
