HM/HW coordinator, who will decide if any action is needed  to  satisfy  operational  requirements. HM and Combat Readiness Each  ship  should  establish  procedures  to  identify, mark,  evaluate,  and  eventually  remove  HM  in preparation for battle (a strip ship bill). Most HM can be dangerous to personnel and the ship if they are opened or set on fire during battle. Give priority to HM that supports or accelerates fires or produces toxic combustion  products. Removing  Excess  HM Turn over any excess HM to the supply department for  off-loading  to  the  appropriate  shore  activity  as HMTIS.  Label  each  container  and  include  a  DD  form 1348-1. COLLECTING AND DISPOSING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE Controlled  disposal  of  shipboard  HW  is  an important element in the Navy’s HM/HW management program.  Carefully  follow  the  shipboard  HW  disposal and off-loading practices to keep down the workload and  to  comply  with  HW  regulations.  The  disposal requirements we have explained in the next paragraphs do not preclude the discharge of HM/HW during an emergency situation where there is danger to the health or safety of personnel or danger of damage to the ship. Collecting  Hazardous  Waste When  you  collect  HW,  segregate  it,  place  it  in containers  used  for  the  original  material  or  in impervious  containers  specified  for  that  material.  Label it to show contents and store it in appropriate locations. Follow  the  stowage  precautions  used  for  oil  pollution abatement including the segregation of oily wastes, used oil, and waste oil. If your ship has oily waste holding tanks, direct all shipboard oily waste to those tanks. Collect used lube oil separately, store it, and label it to be recycled ashore. Also collect synthetic lube oils and hydraulic oils separately from other used/waste oils. If your  ship  does  not  have  a  system  to  collect  used synthetic  oils,  use  5-  or  55-gallon  steel  containers, properly labelled, and store them to be recycled ashore. Refer to the  Naval  Ships’  Technical  Manual,  “Pollution Control”,  Chapter  593,  for  details.  Also,  see  the  Navy Occupational  Safety  and  Health  (NAVOSH)  Program Manual, OPNAVINST 5100-19B, for instructions on the emergency response to and disposal of HM/HW. Shore Requirements for Off-loading HW Give HW to the supply department, which will collect  all  the  ship’s  HW  and  off-load  it  to  the appropriate shore facility (usually the public works center) as HMTID using the following procedures: l l l The supply officer contacts the appropriate shore activity  to  ask  for  a  pickup  and  learn  local requirements. The  providing  ship’s  department  packs  any turn-in material in approved DOD containers provided  by  the  supply  department  and  labels them  as  to  contents.  Do  not  mix  different substances in the same container. If you do, the shore facility may charge your ship for the cost of  laboratory  analysis  to  identify  the  HW. Complete a DD form 1348-1 for each type of HW. HM/HW TRAINING Work  center  supervisors  will  train  all  newly reported personnel on HM/HW when they report on board, and annually thereafter in the following subjects: The types of HM in their work area and aboard ship What HW is and how to dispose of it How to read and interpret hazard warning labels What an MSDS is, how to read it, and where a copy  is  available  for  review General information on HM handling, stowage, use,  and  disposal Protective  measures  when  handling  HM Emergency  procedures Damage control teams that may be required to handle  HM/HW  emergencies  will  receive  annual training  on  HM/HW  emergency  procedures.  This  will include at least one drill. 10-13
