Creating a New Waste Disposal Record

Logging a New Waste Disposal Record

1. Navigate to the Waste Disposal module.
2. Click the New Record button, usually found near the top of the list. This opens a new Waste Disposal form.

Filling in the Waste Disposal Form

Complete the form with the details of the waste disposal. Key sections and fields include:

Details Section

• Date: The date the waste was disposed of.
• Originator: Specify the source location or department of the waste (e.g., "Main Plant," "Site A Construction").
• Waste Type: Select the primary category of waste (e.g., "General Waste," "Recyclables," "Chemical Waste"). This field is important for reporting and filtering, and is a key field for searching records.
• Originated From: Provide more specific details about where the waste was generated, if different from the general Originator (e.g., "Laboratory 3," "Workshop Bay 2").
• Classification: Further categorize the waste (e.g., "Non-hazardous Solid," "Liquid Solvent"). This can be used for detailed analysis and compliance tracking.
• Regulated Transporter: The company responsible for transporting the waste.
• Docket Number: The official docket number associated with the disposal.
• Environmental Protection Agency notified: Indicate if the EPA was informed about this disposal.

Waste/Consumption Details Section

This section allows you to quantify the waste disposed and any related resource consumption. Fill in the relevant fields based on the specifics of the disposal event (e.g., amounts for electricity, water, hazardous/non-hazardous waste, paper).

GPS Location Section

Optionally, capture the specific GPS coordinates for the disposal event and add any relevant location-based comments.

Associated Actions Section

If there are follow-up tasks related to this waste disposal, you can link to existing actions or create new ones directly from this section. This helps ensure accountability and track progress.

• To link an existing action, click Select.
• To create a new action, click Log New. (For more details on creating and managing actions, please refer to the "Action Management" documentation.)

Saving the Record

• Save: If you need to save your progress and return to the form later, click Save. The record will be in a "Draft" state.
• Submit: Once all required information is entered and you are ready to finalize the record, click Submit. This will change the record's status to "Saved." You may be asked to confirm this step.

Remember to use the Attachments section to upload any supporting documents, such as disposal certificates or photos. (See "Adding Attachments" in the General Features documentation for more information.) The system also automatically records standard details like organizational Hierarchy (e.g., Site, Department), Document Number, Author, and Creation Date.
