1.0
Purpose
Jefferson Lab allows limited quantities of hazardous material to be transferred[1] from one location to
another (i.e.: on-site), and shipped[2] (i.e.: off-site) in
accordance with identified safety standards.
This appendix provides the process steps used to ensure appropriate
safety precautions are utilized during these operations.
2.0
Scope
This appendix
applies to hazardous material in quantities at or below “Allowable On-site Transfer Limits” (as
noted below). Only Jefferson Lab’s
Industrial Hygiene Department, Radiation Control Department, or Shipping and
Receiving Department can authorize hazardous material on-site transport in
quantities exceeding these limits; or off-site shipment of any quantity.
The following
hazardous material has additional requirements:
·
Radioactive Material – See ES&H Manual Chapter 6310 Protection from Ionizing
Radiation
·
Medical Waste – See ES&H Manual Chapter 6800 Appendix T4 Regulated Medical
Waste Management
The process steps for this procedure are performed in coordination with ES&H Manual Chapter 6660 Hazardous Material Transport.

Process Steps
Unless otherwise stated, anyone at Jefferson Lab may perform the process steps outlined below.
4.1 On-Site Transfer of Hazardous Material
Step 1: Prepare the Transfer Location; ensure it is appropriate in accordance with hazardous material requirements. (See ES&H Manual Chapter 6610 Appendix T3 Chemical Labeling, Storing, and Transporting Requirements.)
Step 2:
Identify
the Hazardous Material and Quantity
·
Look
at the container’s label – identify the material and its associated hazard
class.
o
If
the hazard class is not shown on the label – Use Jefferson Lab’s Material
Safety Data Sheet
Database. The Hazard Class is
generally listed under
“Transport Information,” or similar, within “MSDS Contents” section.)
·
Estimate
how full the container is to determine the quantity to be transferred or
shipped. (Example: if container holds 50
gallons and is half full, estimated quantity would be 25 gallons.)
Step 3:
Review
the Transportation Requirements for the Identified Hazard Class –
The table below provides examples
of Jefferson Lab’s most common hazardous material. If your hazardous material is not listed, use
its associated Hazard Class to determine its requirements.
