Download or read book Minimizing Employee Exposure to Toxic Chemical Releases written by Ralph W. Plummer and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 1987-12-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to collect data and information from a sample of chemical manufacturing facilities and facilities which use chemicals in other processes to determine what kinds of procedures are currently in practice and to develop a set of recommended procedures which can be used to minimize the possibility of toxic chemical releases. In order to accomplish this task, the authors developed a methodology for collecting data and information concerning procedures currently being practiced to eliminate or reduce toxic chemical spills and releases. In essence, this approach divides the project into three phases: what kinds of procedures are currently being used by the chemical industry and other facilities which use toxic chemicals; what type of toxic chemical release accidents and injuries occur in these facilities; finally, how can this information be integrated into a set of recommended procedures which will decrease the likelihood of a toxic chemical release and, if one does occur, will minimize the exposure and severity of exposure to employees. This report describes both the metholodogy used and the results of its application to the chemical industry. This report provides data collected from fifteen chemical plants and facilities which use toxic chemicals.

Download or read book Toxic Substances written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to reduce toxic releases, focusing on the: (1) validity of the data reported in the Toxic Release Inventory; (2) progress of the 33/50 Program in meeting its targets for reductions in toxic releases; and (3) status of participation in the Early Reductions Program. GAO found that: (1) while the EPA Toxic Release Inventory shows that the volume of toxic substances released into the environment has been reduced by 1.7 billion pounds since 1988, it is difficult to determine whether these reductions are valid and permanent; (2) according to EPA data, the 33/50 Program has exceeded its interim target, having achieved a 40-percent reduction in toxic chemical releases and transfers, and EPA officials expect to realize a reduction of more than 50 percent by 1995; (3) not all of the reductions in toxic chemical releases could be attributed to the 33/50 Program, since 26 percent of the reductions were reported by companies not participating in the program, and 40 percent of the reductions took place before the program was established; (4) as of September 1994, EPA was reviewing and processing 40 applications for the Early Reductions Program; and (5) industry representatives believe that participation in the Early Reductions Program has been limited because participants are given insufficient time to comply with the emission standards in view of the costs and complex requirements of the program.
