    Answer: 30 years after worker exposure

    OSHA 1910.1020 requires that exposure records, including SDSs relevant to worker exposures, be retained for 30 years.

  3. A small quantity generator accumulates hazardous waste on-site for more than 270 days without a permit. What violation has occurred?

    Answer: Storage without a permit under RCRA

    SQGs may accumulate waste for up to 270 days; exceeding this limit without a permit constitutes unpermitted storage, a RCRA violation.

    CAA Section 112(r) requires facilities with listed regulated substances above threshold quantities to develop and submit a Risk Management Plan to EPA.

  5. Which record must accompany a hazardous waste shipment that is subject to Land Disposal Restrictions?

    Answer: A signed generator certification and waste characterization notice sent to the receiving facility

    LDR regulations require generators to send a one-time written notice and certification to the receiving TSD facility documenting that waste meets treatment standards.

  6. How frequently must RCRA-permitted TSD facilities conduct and document inspections of their facility and equipment?

    Answer: At least daily for areas with potential for discharge

    RCRA requires TSD facilities to inspect areas where releases could occur at least daily, with results logged in the facility inspection log.

  7. What is the purpose of the National Response Center (NRC) database maintained by the USCG?

    Answer: To centrally record all federally reportable hazardous substance releases

    The NRC serves as the single federal point of contact for reporting releases and maintains a database of all reportable hazardous substance incidents.
