OSHA has specific regulations in place for permit required confined spaces and failing to comply can result in hefty fines and safety dangers. In this guide, we will discuss what a permit required confined space is, the hazards associated with them, and how to work in one safely. Let’s get started! ...
Fume hoods are designed to keep laboratory professionals safe while working with hazardous materials. They filter the air to prevent the inhalation of toxic particles that can lodge in the lungs and cause serious health implications. In order for fume hoods to provide protection, users must follow basic safety practices. No matter how well a fume hood is designed, it won’t be effective ...

Shredding is an important step in hazardous waste management.AIShred manufacture hazardous waste shredders for hazardous waste shredding. Such as radioactive waste, steel drums containing hazardous materials or bacterially contaminated medical waste. Our ...
The transport of radioactive waste is the last step in the life cycle of waste creation, collection, packaging, storage, and transportation to an approved government Treatment, Storage, or Disposal Facility (TSDF). PacTec has expertise in packaging for specific types of radioactive waste and, as such, is knowledgeable of the government’s transport requirements as far as they impact ...
What is a Confined Space? Confined Space refers to any place, including any vessel, tank, container, pit, bund, chamber, cellar or any other similar space which, by virtue of its enclosed nature, creates conditions that give rise to a likelihood of an accident, harm or injury of such a nature as to require emergency or rescue action. Many workplaces contain areas that are considered ...
The primary mission of Flow Sciences is to contain hazardous materials. We maintain a laboratory for containment performance verification, relevant standard testing, and product development. We test every unique enclosure that is manufactured for reliable performance. Merck has chosen many times with us to verify containment performance further through surrogate powder testing. Recently we ...

On January 18, 2018, Christopher R. Bryant, Senior Regulatory Consultant at Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®), was quoted by Bloomberg Environment regarding the possible environmental ramifications of a recent California mudslide. “That mud could contain everything from sewage, to oil and gas from ruptured lines, as well as pesticides, ash, maybe chemicals from inside ...
Polymer-supported hydrated iron(III) oxide (PHIO) was successfully applied as adsorbent for arsenic removal in a wastewater treatment plant in Nandan, China. The practical PHIO adsorbent samples (PHIO-P) were collected from the adsorption column of the wastewater treatment plant, and desorption experiments of the adsorbent were carried out. Our results showed that the formation of ...
The answer is yes, no, and maybe. Under the DOT regulations, hazardous wastes are regulated in all modes (ground, air, rail, vessel) of transportation. EPA has classified specific hazardous waste as Universal Waste to streamline the process and encourage recycling of these materials (see 40 CFR 273). EPA has specifically addressed the DOT requirements for these waste at 40 CFR 273.52 as ...
For the past 8 years, PacTec, Inc. has been a partnering with several government and private agencies on hazardous waste cleanup at FUDS (Formerly Used Defense Sites) in ...
Mine backfill is defined as the material used to fill the cavities (i.e., stopes) created by underground mining. Backfilling can be a means to dispose of sludge and/ or tailings which may contain hazardous materials and to reduce surface environmental impacts by storing tailings underground. Alternately, backfilling with nonhazardous materials can allow for mining productivity improvements. To ...
The massive explosions at a chemical warehouse in Tianjin, China, on 12 August, which have reportedly killed 139 people, with 34 persons still missing, over 700 injured, 6,000 displaced and the homes of another 17,000 damaged, are a deeply tragic reminder of the permanent need to reinforce safety at industrial sites containing hazardous materials. This accident involved chemicals that can be ...
Landfill owners and operators spend a lot of time focusing on containment: containment of waste; containment of leachate; containment of gas, litter, and odors.
