2017年和2019年联邦危险废物法规根据资源保护和恢复法案（RCRA）（RCRA）增加了监管监督和审查了医院等“非工业”商业部门的监督和审查;与药房和实验室等医疗保健的业务;零售商;和学术机构。这些部门及其环境影响在讨论RCRA遵从性时，历史上忽略了，但随着监管人口的增加，这些商业部门面临的环境风险增加。这转化为许多企业的陌生领域的新挑战。

由于这些行业内的几乎每个设施都是危险的废物发生器，业务和设施领导者必须了解他们的业务和物业的复杂环境合规要求。在实施兼容废物管理系统的同时理解这些要求是一项庞大的任务，赋予数百项，如果不是数千个，这些实体每年产生的废物和废物流。这些设施对于许多公司遍布全国各地，也受到州，有时危险的废物法规往往比联邦RCRA规则更严格。

Key Processes Towards Compliance

在甚至接近符合肉类和骨骼之前，有两个主要的初始组件到地址。步骤编号1A在最大限度地减少作为危险废物发生器的环境，法律，金融和其他固有风险，是了解和应用规定和相应的危险废物计划合规性要求。步骤编号1B完成准确和最新的废物库存，以确定适用于您的操作的实际危险废物符合要求。从这一点开始，危险废物通知;隔离;收藏;贮存;训练;泄漏反应;表现; disposal; and reporting (if required) practices and procedures are developed and implemented so that your facility can adhere to your specific regulatory compliance requirements.

组织缺陷和全身盲目点

Given the complexity of RCRA regulations and the nature of these non-industrial sectors, business leaders in the hospital, healthcare, educational and retail industries may lack the internal institutional experience to adequately meet regulatory compliance requirements related to RCRA. And, unfortunately, systemic or acute compliance issues may only be uncovered during a government agency compliance inspection or a waste or chemical management incident. When either of these scenarios occurs, it is commonly found that no single person or business department was responsible for the RCRA hazardous waste program.

零违规计划的实际合规步骤

为了避免这样的情况 - 有时可以引发重大的环境风险，如不受欢迎的宣传 - 有实际的合规性评估步骤（在这些部门的任何设施，区域或公司范围内）业务可以主动地实现非 -遵守RCRA危险废物法规。
