The generating entity must complete for each hazardous waste generated, the information requested in the waste data sheet that appears in Annex 1 and send it to the Environmental Comptroller. (As amended by Article 3 of Executive Decree No. 37788 of February 15, 2013, "Approves General Regulations for the Classification and Management of Hazardous Waste, reform Regulation on the characteristics and list of industrial hazardous waste and Regulation for the Management of Industrial Hazardous Waste") Article file Article 6 - Accumulation. 6.1 The accumulation of hazardous waste is the process of filling the containers in which the waste is collected while it is being generated. This action should be carried out as close as possible to the generation site. Also, this action is prior to storage. 6.2 The accumulation of different hazardous wastes together is not allowed, that is, each hazardous waste must be accumulated for storage individually. This does not imply that the same type of waste cannot be mixed in a single container for accumulation. 6.3 Accumulation points must be maintained and operated in such a way as to minimize the chances of fire, Machine Translated by Google explosion or release of hazardous waste that can alter human health or the environment. For this, the following safety conditions must be followed: 6.3.1 Containers: They must be hermetically closed, but with the possibility of opening and closing them. They must be made of material that does not present problems of incompatibility with the waste to be stored in it. They must be in good condition and free of leaks. The accumulated volumes must be such as to ensure adequate environmental storage. 6.3.2 In Annex 1 "Hazardous waste identification sheet" and on each container, the generator must clearly indicate the type of hazardous waste it contains, its hazardous characteristics, the date on which accumulation began in it and the code number of the same". The symbols of the United Nations, Globally Harmonized System, European Union or applicable NFPA must also be indicated and labeled on each container. 6.3.3 Location of accumulation points: The accumulation points must be areas close to the point of generation where the appropriate containers must be filled with the hazardous waste generated. These areas must be supervised by the necessary operators of the waste generating process who will also carry out the process of filling the containers and the inspection to detect leaks or spills, or abnormal situations that could endanger the work situation and the environment. 6.3.4 Safety equipment. The accumulation points must have the following safety equipment in the necessary quantities: Machine Translated by Google Internal communication or alarm system capable of providing immediate action by trained personnel in an emergency. A device (telephone, or similar) that is easily accessible at the scene of operations to call the police department, fire department, or the person in charge of a local or national emergency. Water in an adequate volume and pressure necessary to supply it through hoses, foaming equipment, water spray systems or similar systems. Portable fire extinguishers. Leak control equipment. Decontamination team. Liquid absorbent material. 6.3.5 Identification of each accumulation site: In addition to the aforementioned equipment, each accumulation station or site must be identified as such with the appropriate labeling and a protocol must be kept within reach that indicates routine and emergency actions. Machine Translated by Google 6.3.6 Safety equipment and protection for the employee: It is the obligation of each generator to maintain the appropriate safety equipment for its workers in this and all stages of hazardous waste management. Said equipment must be acquired based on an evaluation of the danger of the generated waste(s). Likewise, it must be ensured that the personnel who are in contact with the waste systematically use the protection prescribed in each case. All this must be contemplated in the "Generator Information" Form shown in Annex 1. 6.4 The containers used for the accumulation of hazardous waste must always be kept closed during the accumulation stage, except when it is necessary to open it to add or remove waste. 6.5 The Hazardous Waste Accumulation or Storage Form (Annex 3 of this Decree) must be filled out and completed as the accumulation stage is carried out, so that it can be requested by the corresponding authorities at any time and know the amount of volume of accumulated waste and its storage status.

The reactive group to which the hazardous waste belongs is identified. (Table No 1, ANNEX 2) Machine Translated by Google 7.1.2. Based on the following incompatibility table, \o^ groups to which the waste belongs will be intercepted. As a result of the intersections carried out, a series of acronyms can be obtained, which will indicate the type of reaction that could be expected between these types of waste. therefore, the wastes are considered to be incompatible. In the event that several hazardous wastes must be stored in a single warehouse, a minimum space of 3 meters must be left free between them for those that are incompatible.

Article sheet Article 9°—Quantitative limitations and storage conditions of packages and containers 1. The maximum amounts allowed per inner container used to contain the different hazardous wastes used are the following: Machine Translated by Google Table No 1: Maximum quantities allowed per container Feature Group of state maximum amount of Dangerous fill the physique of disposal by container of waste packaging disposal interior waste that II Liquid 11. (metal) react III Liquid 500 ml (plastic or Spontaneously II Solid glass) 51 Waste may what III Liquid 100 o 500 g undergo spontaneous combustion II solid liquid O 25 mi Machine Translated by Google waste of III 1 kg organic peroxides solid O liquid 500 g liquid or solid 1 kg 9.2 The general conditions for the storage of hazardous waste are detailed below. a) All packaging/containers must be clean and free of foreign materials to those to be introduced. b) The materials of the packaging or container must be appropriate for the nature of its content. c) The packaging must be effectively protected, while the container must be effectively closed. d) The packaging must be resistant to shocks, blows, friction, humidity. e) The size and volume of the pallets must be different according to the different properties of the hazardous waste. f) The stowage space must be clean, dry and well ventilated. 9.2.1 Explosives: Machine Translated by Google a) Containers intended to contain waste with explosive characteristics must be resistant enough to prevent its content from escaping under normal transport and storage conditions. b) The parts of the containers that are in direct contact with the hazardous waste should not be affected by the chemical action of another type of said waste. When necessary, these parts must be provided with a suitable internal coating or have been the subject of an appropriate treatment. Such packaged breads shall not include components that may dangerously react with the contained waste in such a way as to form potentially hazardous products or considerably weaken them. c) The cushioning and absorbent material will be inert and suitable for the nature of the contents of the container. d) Plastic containers, parts of containers and closures that may come into direct contact with hazardous waste must be resistant to its action and shall not contain materials that may react dangerously, form dangerous compounds or soften, weaken or render useless. containers or their closures. e) Packaging or containers made of plastic materials must be sufficiently resistant to aging and degradation caused by the substances contained in them or by ultraviolet radiation. The permeation of the contained substance should not constitute a hazard under normal transport conditions. Stowage: Machine Translated by Google To stow hazardous waste with explosive characteristics, it must be done according to the following stowage characteristics: a) Stowage category A (ordinary): All waste with explosive characteristics must be stowed in an area where the temperature is less than 20 °C and away from sources of heat, such as sparks, called steam pipes, heating coils . b) Stowage category B (pyrotechnic waste): For pyrotechnic waste, the same provisions as stowage category A will be used, with the exception of not overestimating (that is, no different cargo will be stowed directly on the packages). c) Stowage category C (types of special waste): The waste for which this modality is prescribed consists of waste containing explosives and chemical agents of the smoke, tear or toxic type. The main problem lies in the risk of fire or spontaneous combustion with the release of dense smoke or tear gas or toxic vapours, in the event of any leakage of the contents of the packages. Category A stowage is followed. In the case of waste with toxic characteristics, it must be stowed in a hermetically sealed space. Category A pallets may not be placed at distances less than 6 m away from any factor that triggers fire (flame, ash, sparks), an ash ejector or any other factor that can trigger fire. Likewise, they must be away from walkable places, as well as from fire hydrants, steam pipes, access roads, and not less than 8 m away from security devices and offices. 9.2.2 Of flammable liquids. Machine Translated by Google Flammable liquids will be divided into 3 categories according to their packaging or packaging group, according to the degree of danger that each of them entails: o Highly dangerous (Packaging or container group I), Initial boiling point less than or equal to 35 °C o Medium hazard (Group container or packaging II). Initial boiling point greater than or equal to 35 °C: point 23°C closed cup flash o Low hazard (Group container or packaging III). Initial boiling point greater than 35 °C: closed cup flash point greater than or equal to 23 and less than or equal to 61 °C. For its container or packaging, the following provisions will be followed a) Given the ease with which these wastes can ignite, the packaging or container must be protected against extreme sources of ignition. b) Containers that are in direct contact with flammable liquid waste must be hermetically sealed. c) The parts of all containers that are in direct contact with the hazardous waste must not be affected by the chemical action or of any other nature of the waste. When necessary, these loaves will be provided with a minor coating or will be subject to an appropriate treatment. The aforementioned breads in the packages must not include components capable of reacting dangerously with the content in such a way that potentially dangerous products are formed or that said parts are considerably weakened. Machine Translated by Google d) When there is a possibility that the emanation of gases (whether due to temperature rise or other causes) could produce an appreciable pressure inside a package. It may be equipped with a breathing device provided that the gas thus emitted does not cause a hazard, considering the toxicity, flammability, corrosivity, and quantity of the gas emitted. The breathing device shall be constructed in such a way that no liquid can escape when the package is in a vertical position. The outer container or packaging will be arranged in such a way that it does not interfere with the proper functioning of the breathing device. 9.2.3 Of flammable solids: a) Given the ease with which these wastes can ignite, the packaging or container must protect the content against extreme sources of ignition. b) For the transport of this type of waste, it must be possible to moisten it with water or some other liquid inside completely waterproof containers. The closure will be effective in all cases to prevent liquid loss and it may be required in certain cases that it be a hermetic closure. c) Before stowing packages containing this type of substance, an inspection will be carried out in order to verify that there is nothing in them that indicates that a leak is taking place or that a leak has occurred previously that could have reduced the amount of liquid indicated in the previous point, making it less than that specified. 9.2.4 Corrosive substances: a) Corrosive waste should be kept as dry as possible. Machine Translated by Google b) All waste of this class for which plastic packaging or containers without an external protection element is allowed, must be kept, if possible, at temperatures close to 20 °C \a which the resistance of most of the plastic materials decreases at elevated temperatures. 9.2.5 Of poisonous substances: For packaging purposes, toxic substances have been divided into 3 categories according to the degree of danger involved: • Packaging or packaging group I: Substances and preparations that pose a very serious risk of poisoning. (LD50 for ingestion less than or equal to 5 mg/kg: LD50 for skin contact less than or equal to 40 mg/kg; LC50 for inhalation less than or equal to 0.5 mg/1) • Packaging or packaging group II: Substances and preparations that pose a serious risk of poisoning. (LD50 per intake greater than 5 mg/kg less than or equal to 50 mg/kg: • LD50 by skin contact greater than 40 less than or equal to 200 mg/kg: LC50 by inhalation greater than 0.5 mg/1 less than or equal a 2 mg/1) • Packaging or packaging group III: Substances and preparations that pose a relatively slight risk of poisoning. (LD50 by ingestion greater than 50 mg/kg and less than or equal to mg/kg: LD50 by skin contact greater than 200 mg/kg and less than or equal to 1000 mg/kg: LC50 by inhalation greater than 2 mg/1 and less than or equal to 10 mg/1) For its container or packaging, the following provisions will be followed: Machine Translated by Google a) All containers will be at least effectively closed. However, in the case of hazardous waste that, according to the inhalation toxicity criteria, are assigned to packaging or container groups I or II. They must be contained in their hermetically sealed containers. b) The loaves of all containers that are in direct contact with the hazardous waste must not be affected by the chemical or other action of said waste. The aforementioned breads in the packages must not include components capable of reacting dangerously with the content, in such a way that they form potentially dangerous products or that said breads are considerably weakened. c^ When there is a possibility that the emanation of gases (whether due to temperature rise or other causes) could produce an appreciable pressure inside a package, it may be equipped with a breathing device. as already mentioned above. d) Since the vapor pressure of low boiling point liquids is usually high, the containers intended to contain these liquids must be strong enough to withstand. with a wide safety coefficient, the interior pressures that are likely to develop in them. e) When the containers are filled with liquids, a sufficient empty space will be left to ensure that there are no leaks or permanent deformations in the containers as a result of an expansion of the liquid caused by the temperatures that will probably occur during its storage. 9.3 Decontamination In the event of a spill of toxic substances at any stage of handling, and particularly in the case of liquid pesticides, Machine Translated by Google take appropriate measures for decontamination under the supervision of a competent person. If there is any reason to suspect that there has been a leak of any waste of this kind, it will not be allowed to enter the hold or the compartment until the person in charge has taken into consideration all aspects related to the safety of the workers. and the environment and that this safety is guaranteed. 9.4 In other emergency situations, only duly trained personnel will be authorized to enter the hold, and in those cases wearing self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. 5. Storage warehouse conditions. The same security conditions indicated in the accumulation stage must be kept, reinforcing the fact that the floors of the storage warehouses must be totally impermeable and have protective walls. Likewise, there must be an adequate ventilation system (as long as the stored waste allows it). In most cases, the warehouses must remain closed and access will be restricted only to trained personnel. The warehouse used for the Hazardous waste storage should be different from raw material warehouses. 9.6 Precautions against fires. The precautions required against fires in accumulation areas or storage warehouses are: a) Keep all combustible material away from sources of ignition. b) Protect flammable substances through suitable packaging/containers. Machine Translated by Google c) Reject and rectify packages that are deteriorated or leaking. d) Stow the packages so that they are protected against the possibility of accidental deterioration or heating. e) Segregate packages of substances that may cause or spread a fire. f) Enforce the ban on smoking in dangerous areas and place easily recognizable signs or symbols indicating "NO SMOKING". g) Keep in mind the danger of short circuits. L losses to ground and sparks. In view of this, the electrical cables of the lighting and energy circuits, as well as the accessories, must be kept in good condition. Disconnect cables or equipment that does not offer safety. Where a suitable bulkhead is prescribed for segregation purposes, plug the deck and bulkhead perforations that give way to cables and cable-carrying pipes in such a way as to prevent the entry of gases and vapours. h) The inclusion of precautions against fires in the corresponding sheet of hazardous waste is recommended, as long as it is applicable. i) Since the fumes emitted by certain substances when a . If fire affects them, they put personnel at serious risk of poisoning if they are not protected against them, it will always be necessary to wear protective clothing with autonomous breathing apparatus when trying to fight fires.
