Have all personnel, including vendors, been properly trained in the requirements for operating and maintaining the equipment?

Wastewater & Storm water Management

Does C&W have any responsibility for maintaining, operating or reporting on regulated sources of wastewater or stormwater discharge? Guidance: C&W may be subject to various Plans, including Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure, SPCC, Plans (required for storage/use of specified quantities of petroleum/oil) and Federal NPDES Program requirements, such as a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, SWPPP (required for storage of certain equipment and materials outdoors). Note, sites are not authorized to develop such plans for customers w/o review and approval by EHS.
Is the Company exposed to risk of Storm Water Pollution events based on either of the following: (1.) Risk of storm water pollution from Company operations/maintenance activities (see Guideline Text for explanation)? or (2.) Client BMPs [Best Management Practices from NPDES Storm Water Permit (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans* )] that apply to Company operations? Guidance: Note, storm water pollution risks include activities conducted outdoors, such as cleaning surfaces and/or equipment, and/or storage of chemicals, materials, and/or equipment, including landscaping equipment, in an outdoor setting that is not enclosed and managed to prevent stormwater runoff. See the Guideline Text or contact EHS if you have questions regarding applicability of this program. Stormwater runoff is generated from rain and snowmelt events that flow over land or impervious surfaces, such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops, and does not soak into the ground. The runoff picks up pollutants like trash, chemicals, oils, and dirt/sediment that can harm our rivers, streams, lakes, and coastal waters. To protect these resources, communities, construction companies, industries, and others, use stormwater controls, known as best management practices (BMPs). These BMPs filter out pollutants and/or prevent pollution by controlling it at its source. Verification : * The NPDES stormwater program regulates some stormwater discharges from three potential sources: municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), construction activities, and industrial activities. Operators of these sources might be required to obtain an NPDES permit before they can discharge stormwater. This permitting mechanism is designed to prevent stormwater runoff from washing harmful pollutants into local surface waters. Company services might be subject to these permitting requirements if (1.) the client has a NPDES permit for storm water, which typically includes a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and (2.) the Company is performing activities that are regulated by the permit/SWPPP.
Potential Risks/BMPs: Does the site conduct outdoor cleaning activities (e.g., clean sidewalks, loading docks, HVAC equipment, trash areas, vehicles, compactors) that have the potential to pollute storm water, e.g., discharge of cleaning solution offsite via release to creeks, rivers, or storm water drains? If yes, has the company evaluated and established BMPs (Best Management Practices) to prevent a release? See the guidance and/or contact EHS if you have questions regarding BMPs. Guidance: Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required when there is a risk for stormwater discharge from work procedures/processes. BMPs are intended to manage stormwater discharge to comply with Federal, State, and local regulations. In some cases a permit may even be required.
Potential Risks/BMPs: Does the company store hazardous chemicals/materials (e.g., cleaning/maintenance products, detergent, paint, oil) in an outdoor setting that could impact storm water via a release to creeks, rivers or storm drains? If yes, has the company evaluated and established BMPs (Best Management Practices) to prevent a release? Guidance: Contact EHS if you have questions regarding BMPs.
Potential Risks/BMPs: Does the site operate lift stations, oil/grease interceptors, or other devices that could overflow or cause storm water releases, e.g., to storm drains, during a malfunction? If yes, has the company evaluated and established BMPs (Best Management Practices) to prevent a release? Guidance: Contact EHS if you have questions regarding BMPs.
Potential Risks/BMPs: Does the site have a procedure and train/instruct employees on proper disposal of wastewater [from washing activities such as floor mopping and washing outdoor equipment (HVAC coils)] and does the procedure include the following requirements?: 1. Disposal of wastewater via toilet and/or slop sink, which discharges to on-site or off-site waste water treatment plant and 2. Prohibition on the disposal of wastewater via storm sewers. Guidance: If the site does not have a procedure that meets the stated requirements, contact EHS.
Have work orders or other practices been created/modified to ensure best management practices are correctly followed when activities are performed that require BMPs.
Are all storm drains properly labeled and are employees working in the areas of these drains informed of their locations and the need to prevent discharge of pollutants to storm drains?
If landscaping services are provided onsite, are O&M procedures in place to prevent releases to storm water, e.g., all landscaping equipment is maintained/stored in a manner to prevent a release and landscape debris is properly disposed of or mulched and not stockpiled in water drainage areas?
Does the scope of work include the operation and maintenance of any equipment containing petroleum products (e.g., fuel for emergency generators)? If so, are there control measures in place to prevent stormwater runoff or unauthorized discharge of stormwater?
Client Storm Water Permit Requirements: Have all Best Management Practices (BMPs) from client NPDES Stormwater Permit (SWPPP) that apply to Company activities been identified and implemented (e.g., use of water and solid collection devices for outside washing; screening of run off; paint chip collecting; valve shut off during fueling)?
Client SPCC Planning requirements: Is the client responsible for having an SPCC Plan and is the Company responsible for operation or maintenance of any equipment (or oil storage area) that triggered the Client's SPPC Plan? If yes, has the site done the following: 1. Asked the Client if they meet the requirements for an Spill Prevention Counter Measure and Control (SPCC) Plan? 2. Obtained a copy of the Client's SPCC plan and reviewed it to identify and implement controls applicability to the Company scope of work? 3. Ensured periodic inspections of oil/petroleum containing equipment for which the company is responsible? Guidance: Note, Federal Spill Prevention Counter Measure and Control (SPCC) Planning requirements are triggered for sites containing oil/petroleum products above certain thresholds: 660 gallons in any single tank or a total storage capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons?
Is C&W responsible for maintaining and/or updating the clients SPCC plan as part of our SOW?

Spill Response (HazWoper)

Do C&W employees participate in Spill Response and/or Emergency Response Plans? Guidance: Contact your EHS Manager or corporate EHS if the scope of work requires C&W to develop or participate in site Emergency Response Plans, e.g., spill response involving hazardous substances, per the OSHA HazWoper Standard [29 CFR 1910.120(q). C&W may, under certain circumstances, support the customer’s response plan. Duties and training requirements depend on "responder level." C&W employee involvement is typically limited to the First-Responder, Awareness level. Any scope-of-service that involves C&W employees in Emergency/Spill Response services, including on-site Emergency Response Teams, must be reviewed and approved by EHS.
Are C&W employees limited to awareness level responders? Guidance: If C&W employees are involved in spill response of hazardous waste and/or hazardous substances contact EHS to review further.
Is HazWoper training provided to C&W employees who are involved in spill response at the awareness level?

Water Damage & Fungi Mold

Do any C&W employees respond to water damage requests or perform other work activities that might require clean-up of fungi/mold (or work on building structures with EIFS cladding)? Guidance: While response to water-damage from floods/rains is a common service provided by C&W, fungi/mold remediation is not. Fungi are particularly problematic in wet, warm region, such as the southern US and fungi/mold exposure can be a significant health hazard. For this reason, C&W sites are required to follow the C&W Standard when responding to water damage service requests where cleanup of fungi/mold is encountered. Sites are prohibited from self-performing mold "remediation" or "abatement" activities. Such mold remediation/abatement activity is defined as clean-up of mold with a surface area > 10 sq. ft. Contact EHS with any questions. In addition, Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS), sometimes called "synthetic stucco", is a multi-layered exterior barrier type system designed to prevent moisture intrusion into exterior walls. Class action law suits involving improper installation and/or maintenance of EIFS are common. Any proposed work on EIFS, therefore, must be reviewed/approved by EHS, with a preference for use of an experienced EIFS subcontractor who has the necessary insurance coverages.
Has the site adopted the Company's Water Damage and Fungi Program (or one that is equivalent or safer)?
Has the "Mold Policy" been signed and posted and have all employees responsible for performing Water Damage repairs signed the "Mold Awareness Agreement"?
