Waste Programs
Contingency Plans
Generators of hazardous waste must develop plans and procedures for responding to emergencies involving the hazardous wastes they generate and store on-site. These plans must include the emergency procedures and equipment that will be used on-site in the event of an emergency as well as the efforts that have been taken to coordinate responses with fire, police and hospital authorities.
Aquionix has developed effective plans for small and very large companies. In developing and implementing these plans we work closely with facility personnel to ensure the plans and procedures are effective and minimize the loss of life, property, and facility down-time.
