Management: Electronics
Manufacturing Industry

A: IDENTIFICATION (REFER TO SAFETY DATA SHEET)


Type of Chemical Waste Source Classification and GHS Hazards

SPEciFIC Type: Flammable solvent


EXCESS FROM Cleaning
Hazards: Highly Flammable, Irritant, cause
1.(Organic) Isopropyl Alcohol and degreasing
drowsiness/ dizziness
electronic components
*

SPECIFIC Type: mineral acid


HAzards: gas under pressure; may explode
excess after being if heated, corrosive to metals
2.(Inorganic) Hydrochloric acid utilized for etching, Causes severe skin burns, Causes serious
plating eye damage, Toxic if inhaled,
May cause respiratory irritation
Refer to Chemical
Compatibility Chart
between Isopropyl Alcohol B: SEGREGATION
and Polypropylene
Store in same room but separate containers
ORGANIC COMPUNDS and ACIDS are NOT COMPATIBLE
Reaction risk- may release hazardous fumes & excessive heat
Fire hazard- presence of strong acid and highly flammable alcohol
may increase risk of explosion/ ignition

D.LABELING C. CONTAINMENT
Isopropyl alcohol- Primary polypropylene containers compatible
with flammable solvent)
Name
Hydrochloric acid- Primary glass containers (Acid-resistant)
Eg. Labeling for
Isopropyl Alcohol Ensure leak-proof, tightly sealed- prevent leaks and evaporation
Include secondary containment trays for BOTH (contain spills
Contents
Risks and leaks) and well-ventilated storage cabinets ( dissipate fume
Precautionary Keep chemicals away from direct heat
Statements (Refer
to GHS) E.STORAGE AT HOLDING AREA
≥ 2 trained staff transporting waste containers to
Danger Symbols (Hazards)
Holding Area
INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING
Follow Standard Operating Procedures when
IN GHS LABEL (min. 52-74mm)
transferring and handling

F. WASTE TREATMENT FOR DISPOSAL Wear appropriate PPE


Wash hands thoroughly after
Isopropyl alcohol- Incinerate (eliminates Implement safety measures in event of emergency
completely)/ Recycle (allows reuse) (fire extinguisher, first aid kit etc.)
Hydrochloric acid- Neutralise with base Schedule to be collected by waste disposal vendor who
(produce less hazardous salt)/ Dilute (less follows regulatory standards within specified duration
harmful at low concentrations)
