The waste generator (e.g., Principal Investigator, supervisor, manager) is responsible for determining if a material is spent or intended for discard, thereby a waste material.
The generator is responsible for managing hazardous materials in accordance with the requirements provided here and in the Safety and Health Management Plan.
Generators must minimize waste generation to the degree they have determined to be practicable.
The generator is responsible for maintaining a safe work area.
The Hazardous Waste Program Manager is the authorized representative for the University's generator, treatment, and storage facilities. As the generator representative, the Program Manager is responsible for the management, including off-site treatment and disposal, of chemical wastes submitted for disposal by University generators. Under his guidance, hazardous waste personnel operate a federally permitted hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. These operations are technically and/or physically separate from the generator operations.
The Program Manager will manage wastes in a manner that minimizes liability to the University. This involves determining the appropriate methods and facilities for treatment and disposal of the University's hazardous wastes.
The Program Manager will provide assistance to generators in determining appropriate waste management procedures for special situations and/or as requested by the generator.
