Central Office Equipment Wreckouts and Installs: Hazardous Materials 12.1 Introduction Equipment that is removed from the QwestCenturyLink network pending retirement and/or removal of service will be designated per par. 8.19.52. When handling hazardous materials, waste materials, and equipment, the contractor is expected to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal environmental and transportation laws, regulations and ordinances. The intent of this chapter is to make clear what activities the contractor is responsible for performing, and to alert the contractor to potentially hazardous materials present in the central office and in the switch equipment. 12.2 The QwestCenturyLink Supplier is responsible for: 12.2.1 Compliance with applicable local, state, and federal environmental and safety laws, regulations and ordinances. 12.2.2 Development and implementation of there their own environmental and safety programs. 12.2.3 Coordinating and ensuring compatibility of their safety, health, and environmental programs with other employers, including QwestCenturyLink, when other employers are present at the workplace. 12.2.4 Prompt correction of all violations of applicable environmental and safety regulations within the scope of the independent contractors work. 12.2.5 Indemnifying and holding QwestCenturyLink harmless from any and all environmental, health and safety liabilities assessed against the independent contractor or QwestCenturyLink, as a result of the contractors conduct. 12.2.6 Being aware of and adhering to the QwestCenturyLink Safety and Loss Prevention Program. 12.3 Equipment Bays and Mercury-Containing Equipment During a Central Office equipment replacement/removal/reuse, the old equipment will be broken down - to the largest possible piece that can be safely lifted and moved out of the Central Office for transportation to the Qwest Materials Reclamation Center (MRC)Material Review Form (MRF) will determine how the central office equipment will be handled and its final disposition. Questions regarding equipment disposition should be directed to the Design Engineer assigned to that central office location. 12.3.1 Individual components are not to be broken down at the Central Office. A Qwest employee will call the SMC (Qwest-Ryder Shipment Management Center on 877-879-7447) to arrange for the old equipment to be transported to the MRC or a "pack-n-hold" warehouse. If a Qwest employee is not available to call the SMC, then the contractor may call them. However, they need to have these three pieces of information traceable back to the Design Engineering organization available before calling the SMC: RC code GEO-location code main and sub account numbers 12.3.2 Transportation to the MRC (or "pack-n-hold" warehouse) is coordinated by the SMC. A Qwest employee must sign the transportation document. 12.3.3 The MRC will handle purging of the individual electronic components and subsequent recycling and/or disposal. THERE IS TO BE NO PURGING (REMOVING) OF MERCURY COMPONENTS OR OTHER HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS AT THE CENTRAL OFFICE. The only exception to this is glass tubes containing krypton or radium; these should be removed and placed in appropriate containers for transport to the MRC. 12.3.4 2 It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure that the equipment removed is properly loaded to ensure that no damage occurs during transport to the MRC. In addition, the equipment bays and frames must be adequately protected from weather and sunlight before the shipment is sent to the MRC. They must be loaded to ensure that no components of the bay or frame become separated from the bay/frame. There must be no damage to the switch equipment during transport to the MRC. 12.4 Batteries - Flooded Lead Acid 12.4.1 The Service Supplier performing the installation and/or removal may be moving flooded lead acid batteries within the same building - from their operating location to a pallet or to a specific part of the building. Flooded lead-acid batteries that are ready to be shipped off-site (anywhere outside of the building) are moved and packaged only by certain contractors specifically hiredapproved by CenturyLink to move them. If the batteries are going to the designated recycling facility or to another QwestCenturyLink buildingfacility location, they are only to be moved by the contractor specifically hired for moving wet batteries. 12.4.2 Currently, there is one main flooded battery transporter that should be used. This contractors employees are specifically trained in moving, packaging, labeling, and transporting flooded batteries. Contact your Environmental Manager for information on this company or call the Qwestthe AIMS Logistics Shipment Management Center (SMC) at 1-877-879-7447Menlo Worldwide representative at 1-800-387-8048 or online ( HYPERLINK "mailto:CenturyLink@menlowworldwide.com" CenturyLink@menlowworldwide.com HYPERLINK "mailto:centurylink@menlowworldwide.com" centurylink@menlowworldwide.com). These batteries are not to be sent to the MRC. When arranging movement of batteries from one QwestCenturyLink facility to another, the Service Supplier shall complete a Bill of Lading (RG33-0017)Menlo Shipment Request Form and list the BVAPP Project Number of the job installing the batteries and the location of the new site. The Supplier will also forward the completed an AIMS ManualMenlo Shipment Request Form and via fax to the number listed on the bottom of the formemail to Menlo Worldwide ( HYPERLINK "mailto:centurylink@menlowworldwide.com" centurylink@menlowworldwide.com) or 800-387-8048 listed on the bottom of the form. This form can be obtained from AIMS LogisticsMenlo. Make Make suresure to note that batteries are for reuse and are considered Hazardous materialMaterial. Ryder AIMS Logistics Shipment Management Center (SMC) at 1-877-879-7447. These batteries are not to be sent to the MRC. The Service Supplier is required to follow all applicable environmental and safety regulations when moving these batteries including the proper completion of form REGN 154-004-001RG (Refer also to Par. 14.23) which can be found at . This form ensures Qwests compliance with Environmental, Health & Safety requirements for the reporting of hazardous chemicals. When completed, it should be faxed to the appropriate Qwest EHS representative listed on Table 12-2. The original form should be sent to the Work Management Center (WMC) in Englewood, CO as part of the normal forms process flow associated with any typical installation. A copy shall also be retained in the Job Packet envelope that is stored at the central office location. Refer also Par. 14.28. 12.4.1 3 VRLA Battery Removals/Transportation Removal and transportation requirements are different for Valve Regulated battery technologies. These batteries have an electrolyte that has been immobilized with some type of component or process, and do not present the same hazards as a flooded cell battery. These batteries can be transported for short distances to another site or shipping location. When transporting or arranging for transport of VRLA batteries, the following process applies: 1. If the batteries are reusable, they can be transported by any company or carrier if they are below the Dept. of Transportation (DOT) limit and comply with DOT regulations. Appropriate safety procedures in handling and securing batteries for transport must be followed. The batteries must be transported using a standard Bill or LadingMenlo Shipping Request Form. The proper shipping name for VRLA batteries is: Batteries, wetWet, nonNon-spillableSpillable, 8, UN2800, PGIII 2. If the batteries are no longer useful, the batteries may still be transported by any company or carrier to a consolidation point at another site if they are below the Dept. of Transportation (DOT) limit and comply with DOT regulations, to a Qwest MRC, or by making arrangements for pickup at the facility can be made by contacting the Shipment Management Center (SMC). Unusable VRLA batteries are, by definition, a Universal Waste which does not require specially permitted transportation. The batteries must be transported using a standard Bill of LadingMenlo Shipment Request Form. The proper shipping name for VRLA batteries is: Batteries, wetWet, nonNon- spillableSpillable, 8, UN2800, PGIII. 12.4.3.1 VRLA Battery Removals/Transportation If other types of batteries requiring recycling/disposal, please contact the Llocal state State Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) for procedural requirements. 12.5 PCB-containing Capacitors And Ballasts Small capacitors and light ballasts manufactured through 1978 may contain PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Capacitors and ballasts should not be removed from the equipment bay. 12.6 Radioactive Tubes These tubes are glass, usually painted black or purple, and range in size from 1 to 3 inches. See Table 12-1. These are normally removed from the equipment bay to avoid any breakage during transport. (These tubes are the only hazardous component that is allowed to be removed at the C.O.central office before transport.) When removed, they should be properly packaged so that no damage occurs during transport. They are to be shipped to the MRC. 12.7 Fluorescent Light Tubes If the Service Supplier removes any fluorescent light tubes, these should be properly packaged and sent to the MRCa recycler that meets all environmental health and safety requirement and identified in the scope of work of the independent contractor. The contractor is responsible for proper packaging to ensure that the tubes do not break during transport to the MRC. Alternately, these light tubes may be stored at the Central Office in a cardboard box of the proper size, and picked up directly by the QwestCenturyLink transporter for shipment to one of our approved lamp recyclers. Check with the state Environmental Manager if you have any questions. 12.8 Asbestos Floor Tile During C.O.central office equipment installs, the contractor may be drilling or handling floor tiles. The floor tiles in many buildings may contain asbestos. Since the regulations governing the removal of asbestos containing materials vary by state, contact should be made with the state Environmental Manager before disturbing any potential asbestos containing materials. The independent contractor must follow all applicable safety, health and environmental regulations governing asbestos- containing materials. The contractor is expected to properly bag and label asbestos-containing floor tile that he/she generates, and to contact the state Environmental Manager or the NTC (Qwest National Traffic Center) to arrange for disposal at the proper facility. Refer also to Par. 3.20, 14.1 and RG 09-1031. During an equipment removal, no asbestos-containing materials should be removed from equipment bays. Other asbestos asbestos-containing building materials that the contractor may encounter include: spraySpray-on fireproofing transit Transit walls, siding, ceilings insulating Insulating material on boilers, chillers, pipes, air plenums, ducts, piping, steam tunnels, mechanical rooms roofing Roofing materials telephone Telephone conduit Information regarding friable asbestos-containing building materials can be found in the asbestos management plan posted at each facility. 12.9 Spills and Emergencies In the event of spills or leaks of hazardous materials, the spill will be immediately contained and cleaned up in order to minimize impact. The contractor will follow all applicable laws, rules, and regulations regarding management of the spill. They will also follow their own companys existing safety and environmental procedures and practices to ensure the safety of their own personnel and others that may be present. In the event of a spill, it should be reported to UNICALL at 1-800-654-2525. The state Environmental Managers can also be contacted through the UNICALL number. Refer to Table 12-2. 12.10 Radiography/x-ray 12.10.1 Prior to starting work, the service supplier must visually survey the building and the proposed work area for personnel exposure, floor by floor, and notify all persons about the potential for exposure to radiation and to assure that the exposure area is clear of personnel for the duration of the work. 12.10.2 Prior to starting work, the service supplier must post warning signage on exterior doors or at safe perimeter distances from the exposure area to warn personnel. 12.10.3 During each radiographic operation the service supplier shall maintain continuous direct visual surveillance of the operation to protect against unauthorized entry into a high radiation area. 12.10.4 The service supplier shall make the above a part of the MOP and include the methodology to be employed. 12.10.5 The service supplier shall be aware of and adhere to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) covering the work operations and refer to them in the MOP.
