Waste Management & House Keeping

PURPOSE
To minimize the waste produced by organizations activities

and improve their process efficiency.
Core aim of “Waste Management Plan”
 Ensure that waste is managed without endangering
human health or harming the environment.
WASTE
MANAGEMENT
 To provide an integrated and adequate network of waste
management installations so that waste can be disposed
of close to its point of production.
 To promote waste reduction, reuse and recovery so that
waste is moved up the waste hierarchy.
 Control at the point of effect i.e. the production of
pollutants is allowed and then the treatment is applied
before emission to air, land or water. www.sterlingandwilson.com | 2
Waste types and forms
 Hazardous and Non-Hazardous waste
 Flammable waste
 Clinical waste
WASTE
 Biodegradable waste
MANAGEMENT
 Radioactive waste
Hazardous waste are categorized into:
– Household
– Industrial
– Commercial www.sterlingandwilson.com | 3
Four key steps to controlling pollution at source:
Reformulate the product, e.g. develop a non-polluting or less

polluting product or process by using different raw materials or feed
stocks.
WASTE Modify the process, e.g. change the process to control by-product
MANAGEMENT formation or to incorporate non-polluting raw materials.
Change the equipment, e.g. make the equipment more efficient or

allow it to use by-products from another process.
Recover resources, e.g. recycle by-products for own use or use by

the others. Waste produced by one activity can be raw materials for
another.

Practical waste management
Minimisation
“Segregate waste and you get potential resources, mix them and
you get rubbish” Segregation of Waste:-
Waste Can be segregated as :-
WASTE
1. Bio Degradable Waste:- Bio Degradable waste includes organic waste,
MANAGEMENT e.g. kitchen waste, vegetables, fruits, flowers, leaves from the garden and paper.
Non Bio Degradable Waste:- Non Biodegradables can be further segregated
into:-
A - Recyclable Waste- Plastics, Paper, Glass, Metal Etc.
B- Toxic Waste:- - Old Medicine, paints, Chemicals, bulbs, Spray
Cans, fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish.
C- Soiled:- Hospital waste such as cloth soiled with blood and other
body fluids. Toxic & soiled waste must be disposed of with utmost
care. www.sterlingandwilson.com | 6
THE COLOR CODING OF WASTE BINS
• Organic is Green,
• Glass is Yellow,
• Paper is White, Metal is Grey,
WASTE • Plastic is Blue, • Hazard is Red!
MANAGEMENT
If waste cannot be reduced, reused or recycled then the
only option left are treatment or disposal.
Waste Treatment is defined as:

‘Any chemical, biological or thermal process that destroys or
neutralizes waste or reduces its volume and allows it to be
transported or stored’.
High temperature is the preferred option for the
disposal of hazardous wastes.
(Landfill is currently the cheapest and most common waste
disposal route in many parts of the world)
Physical and chemical treatment
WASTE Physical treatment
MANAGEMENT Settling, sedimentation, filtration, flotation, evaporation and
distillation
e.g. separation of oil and water using settlement lagoons
e.g. recovery of solvents by distillation
Chemical treatment
Making soluble wastes insoluble

WASTE
MANAGEMENT Destroying toxicity
e.g. oxidation of cyanides
Neutralization of acids and alkalis

e.g. flue gas desulphurisation
Segregation of Waste
Waste should be segregated into the relevant different
categories as close as possible to the source of waste
generation, to avoid secondary handling, which may
involve health and safety risks as well as increased
WASTE operational costs. It is vitally important not to mix waste
MANAGEMENT streams as:
 Certain wastes may react with each other giving rise to
a serious event with both health and safety and
environment implications.
 The mixing of even small quantities of hazardous with
nonhazardous waste normally makes the whole
consignment hazardous.
 The mixing of non-inert waste with inert waste for landfill
will make all the waste non-inert and therefore may be
subject to a higher rate of landfill tax.
 Waste for different disposal routes is clearly identified,

WASTE more effectively handled and efficiently dispatched to
MANAGEMENT
the correct repressor or disposal facility and
 Data collected and the completion of all relevant

paperwork, legal and otherwise is made simpler and
quicker.
Ten simple rules for waste storage
1. Ensure the storage area is of sufficient size and is suitably located,
2. i.e. away from drains, water sources, etc.
3. Clearly label the storage area, and individual containers to advise of
contents and hazardous properties
4. Ensure the storage area is secure and protected from accidental or
malicious damage.
5. If necessary protect the storage area with bunds and rainwater
WASTE collection sumps to minimize the risk of water pollution.
MANAGEMENT 6. Store different waste types separately to avoid confusion.
7. Never store incompatible waste together.
8. Select the appropriate container for the waste and ensure it is in
good condition.
9. Keep quantities of waste and storage times to a minimum. 9) Protect
the waste from the elements like sunlight, rain and wind, if
necessary and
10. Do not dispose of unusual wastes in a general waste skip.
‘Concept of ‘duty of care’
Duty is to take all reasonable care under all foreseeable

circumstances when:
WASTE
MANAGEMENT Importing, producing, carrying, treating, keeping waste
Disposing of controlled waste
Have control of such waste
5-S: Housekeeping
to improve efficiency and productivity
to maintain safety and cleanliness
to maintain good control over the processes
to maintain the good product quality

While doing Seiri keep in mind :

How often things are used.
HOUSE  What is the life if the material.
KEEPING
 Cost of the material
 Be sure to throw the things, otherwise
you may repent.
Consequences of not following SEIRI:

HOUSE
KEEPING •The wanted is hard to find, when required.
•More space is demanded.
•Unwanted items cause misidentification.
•Misidentification causes errors in operation.
•Maintenance cost of the equipments increases.
SEITON -Self Arrangement/arranging
Identifying places to arrange the

things and placing them in
HOUSE
KEEPING proper order for prompt usage.
“A place for every thing and
everything in its place.”
SEITON-Self Arrangement/arranging
While doing SEITON keep in mind :

The right location where the things will be used.
HOUSE
KEEPING FIFO (First in First out) arrangement.
Labeling of the area and the equipment is very
important.
Keep proper gaps between two things to avoid
confusion.
SEITON -Self Arrangement/arranging
Consequences of not following SEITON:

HOUSE • Things are seldom available when needed
KEEPING
• Items get lost
• Items get mixed up
• Visual control not possible
• Failure to achieve targets
SEITON & VISUAL CONTROL
• Good SEITON includes use of labels signs,

indications, display, cautions
HOUSE
KEEPING •
Use of labels signs, indications, display, cautions
highlights difference between normality and
abnormality.
• Non - users of the equipments also become aware of
its use and precautions.
SEISO - Spic and Span (Neat and Clean)
Sweep your workplace thoroughly so that

there is no dust/dirt/scrap anywhere.
HOUSE
KEEPING
The area should say “ Who I’m” and its
neatness should give you a natural welcome.
Spic and Span (Neat and Clean)
Consequences of not practicing SEISO:

• Performance of machines deteriorates
• The quality / aesthetic quality deteriorates
HOUSE
KEEPING • Dirty place is unpleasant and hazardous to
health.
• Sends uncaring and irresponsible message to the
team members and society at large.
• People working at dirty areas are generally found
to have low desire to excel and their motivation
level is low.
SEIKETSU (standardization)
• Always aim at maintaining the standard level

HOUSE
KEEPING of cleanliness, hygiene and visual control.
• Keep all the 4 M’s ( Man., Machine, Material
and Method) intact, a lapse in any one of them
will make you loose the rest of the three

HOUSE
mind :
KEEPING The standards should be arrived at
unanimously.
Always keep the standards flexible
to changes and improvements.
Standards should be known to all
and displayed. www.sterlingandwilson.com | 26
Consequences of not following Seiketsu :

HOUSE • Dual standards yield multiple results.
KEEPING
• Multiple results lead to conflicts and
confusions.
• Rework increases.
• Rework increases the basic cost of the
finished product without any value addition
 The Essence of SEIKETSU

HOUSE – It is the proof that 3-S (SEIRI, SEITON, SEISO)
KEEPING
are being religiously carried out.
– It is the barometer which indicates the control
level based on the 5-S of all the workers.
SHITSUKE (Self-Discipline)
• If you are disciplined. :

HOUSE – Rules will always be followed.
KEEPING
– Laid down targets will be achieved.
– Improvements will be promoted .
– The no. of defects will be reduced.
– The cost will not increase.
