About The Event.
Waste Card (Seventh Schedule) must be created and passed to Waste Contractor (Transporter) during the consignment. It is readily available if there is any spillage happens during the transport of waste from Waste Generator premises to the Waste Collector (Prescribe premises). Waste Card is used by rescue personnel such as BOMBA officers for spill containment and rescue operation. It is a non-compliance If Waste Generator fails to pass a Waste Card to Waste Contractor. Alternative, it is also violation if Waste Contractor does not carry a Waste Card during the transportation of waste. The above is violation of Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulation 2005, Sub Regulation 13.
Lack of knowledge and experience in writing a Waste Card is a common problem among the Competent Person for Scheduled Waste Management (CePSWaM). Most of the time, CePSWaM has copied or adopted entire information of raw material from Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and form a Waste Card. This has posed as problem as raw material properties and characteristics are not necessarily similar with the Scheduled Waste properties and characteristics. These differences have become more obvious when there are 2 (two) or more raw material combined and formed the scheduled wastes.
 The course covers the overview of scheduled waste management. It also covers the understanding of scheduled waste, waste characteristics, waste containers and waste non-compliances. Detailed study on Scheduled Waste symbols and labels will be carried out as well as comparison with the Global Harmonized System (GHS) symbols. Efforts are being placed on study of Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or Chemical Safety Data Sheet (CSDS). Trainees will also be trained on how to adopt the waste properties and characteristics from Wast Characteristics Report and SDS and eventually learn to write a Waste Card. Eventually, root causes of spillage and control is studied.
In conclusion, the participants will start by understanding the difference between Scheduled Waste symbols and labels as compared to Raw material symbols – Global Harmonized System (GHS) symbols and MSDS labels. Discussion on how information from MSDS can be adopted to form a Waste Card. Eventually, participants will have a chance to practice on writing of a Waste Card. The course will guide the Competent Person in Scheduled Waste Management (CePSWaM) in writing a proper Waste Card readily to be passed to Waste Contractor during the consignment, as compliance to Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulation 2005.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Comprehend the scheduled waste management operation and strategies and scheduled waste characteristics, cradle-to-cradle concept, non-compliances as well as containers.
- Comprehend the scheduled waste symbols and labels and raw material symbols and labels (GHS). Comparison and understand on the differences between these two types of symbols and labels and their application areas.
- Comprehend the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
- Guide and hands-on writing of a Waste Card (7th Schedule)
