I.V. May

Abstract

This study examines potential organizational and economic problems that business entities may face when developing measures to improve safety when handling wastes with hazardous components. The study was conducted on the example of waste of a large machine-building enterprise. More than 80% of all industrial wastes (by mass) are moderately hazardous, slightly hazardous and practically non-hazardous waste. Less than 10% waste is extremely hazardous and highly hazardous. As part of the work, more than 40 types of waste from this enterprise were analyzed in depth. Some of wastes contained nickel, lead, tributyl phosphate, xylene, toluene, formaldehyde and other substances with particularly dangerous properties - carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reprotoxicity. It was found that taking into these hazardous qualities about 15% of waste, the hazard class should be toughened. This will require changing the conditions of storage, transportation and disposal of waste. Under these conditions, environmental payments for a negative impact on the environment, for disposal of such waste will increase for this business entity, and additional arrangement of temporary storage sites for waste with a higher hazard class will At the same time, only the full consideration of the hazardous properties of the waste will ensure the safety of the workers, as well as the environment and the population in places of long-term storage of waste.be required. The materials were discussed with the company. As a result it was formed an action plan for the company in the context of increasing the amount of hazardous waste. Economic needs were calculated to meet the requirements for improving the safety of waste management. The study showed that a similar situation may occur in other business entities. A more thorough approach to assessing the composition of the waste and developing plans for the management of such waste is relevant. Solving these problems will lead to improved quality and increased safety of environmental objects.
