Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management

CSU

With a need to manage wastes safely and effectively, the need to assess the impacts of these wastes on human populations ought to be carried out. The relationships that exist between the industry and the industrial codes and waste classifications should be done. It has been found that 70% of the wastes especially hazardous are generated by the chemical industries using approximately 20% of the primary metal industry codes (Bahadori 2014).

In this regard, it is very important to understand the processes that give rise to these hazardous effluents before embarking on the treatment of such wastes. Environmental engineers ought to understand the aspects of wastes that are given in an operation. This implies that the fundamentals of the operations of the chemistry and physics that are involved in an operation should thoroughly e understood( Hickman 2003).

In essence, the processes of the majority of chemistry mostly involved in waste treatments mainly occur within the matrices of the effluents from the industry. In treatment process, it is very important that one classify the wastes that are attributed to recognizing and understanding the key attributes that are to be considered industrial wastes and hazardous wastes. In addition to this, one must recognize the difference between the hazardous wastes and solid wastes that are generated by the industry. Most importantly, the relevant laws and standards should be considered so that the managing of these wastes can be done legally and safely Bahadori 2014).

Final Project Assignment SCM 301  Consider yourself a consultant assigned to develop a supply chain management strategy for the company Throx.  You are tasked with evaluating the company’s recent performance and recommending changes (decisions) to improve supply chain management performance. You should use concepts and methods discussed in SCM 301 to undertake these two tasks.

Company Background Information

Throx sells higher-end custom-design socks in three-sock sets (rather than two).  The company operates from a small packaging and distribution facility in Richmond, CA from which it ships product to customers.  Given the company’s location and focus, 97% of sales are in California, primarily in the major urban areas of the San Francisco bay area, Los Angeles, Sacramento (and last but not least) San Diego.  The company sells exclusively via online sales, at an average price of $15/three-sock set, plus shipping costs charged to the customer.

The company currently orders its product from the Chinese sock manufacturer Zhejiang Datang Hosiery Group Co., Ltd in so-called “Sock City.”  It orders socks in packs of 20 three-sock sets, which are then broken down into individual three-sock sets at the Richmond facility for sale to customers.  Socks are shipped via truck to the port of Shanghai to the port at Los Angeles-Long Beach. Once offloaded in Los Angeles-Long Beach, the socks are shipped via truck to the Richmond facility.  On average, shipment from the manufacturer to the Richmond facility takes 4 weeks.  In addition to the transit time required for shipment, the lead time from when an order is placed with the manufacturer to when it is shipped from Zhejiang is 2 weeks. If the product ordered by a customer is in stock at the Richmond facility, it typically takes 1 day to process an order and ship it out, although the maximum units that can be shipped in a week is currently 1,500 given the facility’s minimal labor force and packaging equipment.

Course Textbook APA Citation:

 

Plog, B. A., & Quinlan, P. (2012). Fundamentals of industrial hygiene (6th ed.). Itasca, IL: National Safety Council.

 

 

Unit 8 Research Paper.

Each student will research an industrial hygiene sampling event and develop a comprehensive exposure assessment report. Students can select from:

·        Asbestos exposure from the World Trade Center disaster

·        The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

 

Assume that you work for Acme Industrial Hygiene Consultants and you are at an event conducting air samples. In your paper, you will discuss:

·        What was going on during sampling?

·        What was your sampling method?

·        What are your results?

 

You are expected to use the AIHA Statistical Spreadsheet to assist you in analyzing the data. To access the spreadsheet please follow the following directions:

1. Go to www.aiha.org.

2. Click on the tab title “Get Involved” to search for “Exposure Assessment Strategies Committee.”

3. Next, select “Volunteer Groups.”

4. Click on “Exposure Assessment Strategies Committee.”

5. Scroll down and select “New IHSTAT Macro Free Version.”

6. Once you have loaded the excel document, make sure to click “Enable Editing” at the top of the spreadsheet.

7. Under the OEL section, insert the OEL for asbestos or benzene that you will use here.

8. Delete the existing date in the sheet, and enter the trailer sample dataset you choose.

9. As you populate the spreadsheet, the statistics will calculate, and the graphs will begin forming the picture of the exposure profile of the trailers.

 

To locate a tutorial on how to use the AIHA spreadsheet, please view the following video, Instructions for Using the AIHA Statistical Spreadsheet, located at https://youtu.be/v4JeQW0JF6k. (For a transcript for this video please click here.)

You will also need to discuss:

·        The descriptive statistics for the dataset

·        The number of samples above the OEL (if any)

·        What the 95th percentile exposure level would be?

·        What exposure category you would put the workers’ exposure into (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4)?

 

You will find that each data set has a number of samples broken down into different activities. Assume that each activity would be a different SEG. Select 1 or 2 SEGs for the purpose of your analysis and report.

If you choose to use the World Trade Center data, you can choose from either the Lower Manhattan Asbestos Data, or the Staten Island Asbestos Data. You can find the data at the following OSHA website: http://www.osha.gov/nyc-disaster/wtc.html

If you choose to use the Deepwater Horizon dataset, focus on the potential benzene exposure. You will also need to select one SEG / task for the purpose of your research (e.g., boat operators, beach cleanup). The dataset is very large and you will want to keep your research focused to a manageable level. It would be acceptable to select a few of the SEGs for comparison. For example, you could compare the boat operator’s exposure to that of the beach cleanup crew. You can find the data on the OSHA website at the following address: http://www.osha.gov/oilspills/index_sampling.html

 

You will find that the AIHA spreadsheet does not allow you to enter a “non-detect” value of zero (0). There are various substitution techniques for estimating distribution parameters from datasets containing censored data: each censored datum is replaced with the (1) LOD, (2) half of the LOD, (3) or LOD divided by the square root of 2. Simple substitution (just using the actual LOD) works well when the percentage of LOD values is small. See Unit VIII Study Guide for more information.

 

 

An example report is provided to give you an idea of how to properly develop a comprehensive written report. Your report does not have to follow this exactly; it is provided as an example only. However, your report should address all 7 items listed above for full credit.
