(total unit containers; netted skips, bins, drums etc) for the collection, transport and storage of
waste. Containers shall be of suitable design to prevent leaks (e.g. from failure through
corrosion), weathering and scavenging, and to facilitate safe transport. CONTRACTOR may use
a subcontractor for waste management according to contract requirements and local
government’s legislation. Plastic bags shall be used for segregated wastes to assist waste
handlers in identifying ‘contaminated’ segregated waste quickly and without risk of injury.

All collection containers will be labelled with the

a) Site location name,

b) waste type and
c) Approved mode of treatment or disposal.

A various wastes shall be generated on Project site and these wastes shall be taken by the
employees to the waste storage areas. This is why different waste storage areas shall be
designated and identified with signs for different types of wastes to prevent mixing all wastes.

Waste containers will be collected and transported by CONTRACTOR or a designated Waste

subcontractor in a manner which minimizes environmental, fire and explosion hazard and
worker exposure (See Attacment A for Labeling). If an accident occurs, the Waste Subcontractor
designated for transport will promptly clean up all spillage material and waste lost from any
vehicle travelling to the disposal site. Transporter of hazardous waste will take every precaution
so that the spill does not occur and report any spill as soon as possible. Hazardous waste
incidents will be reported to COMPANY by CONTRACTOR as any other HSE Incidents.

When waste is being transferred by subcontractor, they have to fill “Waste Transfer Form” and
it should be accompany the waste always. The Waste Transfer Form should contain full
description of waste, the quantity, process that produced it, how it is contained, and any
particular precautions to be taken when handling it. If the waste has a MSDS this will be attached
to the WTF and will accompany the consignment. (See Attachement B for WTF).
