Waste Management Hierarchy
EPA Guiding Principle for waste management and Recycling. The Act states that all waste should be managed in accordance with the hierarchy.
Preferable Least Preferable

– Waste oil and chemicals stored near drains and/or near workshop entries that lead to drains – Wet rubbing runoff to stormwater drains
– Waste bins onsite leak and go to stormwater drains – Empty chemical containers leak (residue) or have rain wash off go to stormwater – Old vehicle batteries are uncovered and leak
– Workshop floor cleaning with mop/bucket is emptied to stormwater or hose down to stormwater

Noisy plant such as:
– Loud extraction fans from body repairers – Air compressors – Pressure washer (used outdoors) – Pneumatic tools (e.g. impact wrench)
Loud processes:
– Body repair work – Cutting processes – Changing of tyres work

– A designated storage area located within a building to prevent any spillage from reaching stormwater or the sewer, – A sealed building to prevent the escape of spills, – A small area within a building designed to contain spills, – A large raised container that liquid containers/drums are placed into.

– Look at chemicals that are safer for the environment and the human user. For example, changing from solvent based parts washers to solvent free (biological based system) – Prior to purchase, review the Material Safety Data Sheet and discuss with the supplier the disposal options of the used chemical and the packaging – Reduce the quantity of chemicals stored and used onsite
VACC IR, OHS & Training – HR Forum 25
– Spill kits should be present in workshops to address chemical spills from accidental release from vehicles, containers and work processes. – Use the correct spill absorbents for the potential chemical spills. Spill absorbents do vary. – Ensure all employees are adequately trained on spill response – Conduct inspections on the spill response equipment to ensure it is well stocked. – Avoid employees and customers from putting rubbish in wheelie bin style spill kits – Refer to MSDS to follow spill and disposal instructions.
26
– Substitute plant and equipment for quieter models – Relocate plant and equipment – Isolate/sound proof plant, equipment and processes – Service plant and equipment to reduce noise and improve efficiency – Review operational hours of work and/or processes

– Car washing – Parts and vehicle component degreasing – Emptying of waste water e.g. mop bucket water, floor cleaning machine emptying
VACC IR, OHS & Training – HR Forum 30
– Clean out silt traps – Have separator pits/systems drained as required
VACC IR, OHS & Training – HR Forum 31

Working in workshops – Perform work indoors to prevent spills to stormwater Cleaning processes – Don’t hose off to stormwater – Use brooms to clean or floor cleaners Parts Washing – Go from solvent based to biological based Sanding and rubbing down of panels dry (dust issues) and wet (run off issues) – Contain to prep bays (with extractors) or internally – Use vacuum sanders – Avoid stormwater drains
– Engines and transmissions – Radiators – Fuel tanks

– Review bins to see if waste segregation is occurring, i.e. prescribed waste is not going into general waste.
– Regular clean ups of floors. Use appropriate methods – Don’t allow clutter and build up – Try to have wastes removed regularly to reduce stockpiling
