procedure of wasted asbestos handling. It describes the procedure of collecting wasted
asbestos. Wastes containing asbestos have to be disposed of by methods that avoid dust
generation. In the case of manually collected wastes, personnel
protection equipment for
respiratory organs (respirators) have to be used. Bulk materials collected by other methods
should be placed into impermeable bags (containers). Replacement of the bags (containers)
should be conducted by mechanized methods.
84.
Solid wastes containing asbestos should be storage in places where they will not be
destroyed during the period of storage. Bags (or other containers) used for storage of wastes
should be disposal by grinding and packing into dense transportable piles in the special
indicated places. These bags could not be reused as a waste paper or package.
85.
All containers with asbestos wastes should have appropriate
inscriptions and
labeling. During the process of operations on collecting and temporarily storage of wastes
contained asbestos, all workers should wear appropriate clothing and respirators. Works
related with wastes loading,
transportation, unloading and disposal should be mechanized;
transportation should avoid spilling of wastes and prevent pollution of environment.
Transportation of unpacked asbestos in open trucks and railway cars is prohibited.
86.
Asbestos wastes belonging to Hazard Class IV could be disposed on MSW without
limitations (quantity). Disposal of asbestos wastes under Hazard Class III is limited and the
amount of such wastes should not exceed 30% of the general amount of solid wastes.
Asbestos wastes should be disposed of in landfills with engineered liner systems. This
legislation also provides specifications of landfill locations and organization (arrangement
and structure).
87.
Permits for the combined landfilling of industrial and municipal waste are granted by
the local CSES based on the results of analyses completed
by accredited laboratories
(SanR&N RUz - 0157-04).
88.
Landfill owners are responsible for the safe storage and disposal of waste to avoid
potential impacts to human health and the environment (SanR&N RUz - 0157-04).
