Safety and Health Aspects of HTRW Remediation Technologies - Engineering and Design

This 2003 manual identifies and analyzes generic safety and health hazards for 25 remediation technologies used in clean-up operations at Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) sites throughout the country. Each chapter includes a brief technology description, hazard analysis, and a control point list, designating groups affected by and responsible for the hazards. It is intended for use by project engineers, technical design personnel, safety and health professionals at all levels, and technical contractor personnel responsible for worker safety and health during all phases of remediation.
