Preliminary Inspection
The ways employees should handle drums depend on the contents of the drums or containers as well as the physical condition of the drums or containers. For these reasons, there should always be a preliminary visual inspection of drums or containers prior to handling them in any way.
A preliminary inspection will help determine the following:
- The type of drum
- If hazards are present
- The appropriate response to these hazards
- Which drums or containers must be moved
- Which drums or containers must be sampled (to identify the wastes inside)
A preliminary inspection will also help determine how to classify the drums or containers into various hazard categories.
