Types of Containers - Drums Containing Radioactive Waste
One of the possible types of containers is a drum that contains radioactive waste. OSHA, EPA, and DOT all have definitions of radioactivity. Employers should familiarize themselves with these standards to determine if a drum contains waste that is considered radioactive.
If a drum contains radioactive waste, then a health physicist must immediately be contacted. Employees are never to handle drums deemed radioactive until those with expertise have provided their opinion on how to safely handle and dispose of the drums or containers and their radioactive materials.
