c) Provide bulging prevent sunlight and rain for the entire area of storage which is made of fire-resistant materials, except if hazardous waste storage equipment has volume of more than 05 m³, it will be placed outdoors; propose any measure or design to restrict wind from getting inside.

d) Keep specific hazardous wastes or groups thereof which have the same properties in cells or sections separated by fire-resistant partitions higher than the loads of these hazardous goods to prevent any chemical reaction with others.

2. Storage and transit areas must meet statutory construction requirements.

3. Storage or transit areas of liquid hazardous wastes must have walls, bunds or embankments built around all or a part of an area, or provide other secondary containment measures as a contingency plan to prevent any spreading of hazardous wastes out into the surrounding environment in emergency cases; must be endorsed by trenches built around the area to collect hazardous wastes into pits at the lower position than floor level to control overflow of such hazardous wastes.

4. The area for storage and transit of flammable, combustible and explosive hazardous wastes must be no less than 10 m from an incinerator, boiler and other burning equipment.

5. Infectious medical waste containment facility must have cold storage system.

6. Hazardous waste storage or transit area must be equipped with:

a) Fire safety equipment (at least including foam fire extinguishers and fire extinguishing and sand) under the instructions of competent regulatory authorities regarding fire safety and protection as referred to in legislative regulations on fire safety.

b) Absorbent materials (such as dry sand or sawdust) and shovels used in case of spillages, leakages or overflows of liquid hazardous wastes.

...

d) Handling equipment (manual or mechanical).

dd) Communications devices (fixed or portable telephones).

e) Warning systems (such as sirens, horns, bells, alarms and loudspeakers).

g) Each cell or section of storage or transit area, and containing equipment, must display hazardous waste markings in accordance with relevant regulations.

h) Fire escape maps and instructions (fire exit or escape signs) must be installed at all visible points of corridors, passageways or aisles.

- The bottom size of each tank shall not exceed 100 m² and the height of each tank shall not exceed 05 m. Where there is more than one tank, these tanks must be constructed without a shared wall, except when total size of tanks is less than 100 m².

- The wall and bottom of an encapsulation tank must be made of rigid and impermeable steel-reinforced concrete (beam girders should be used as necessary to increase load bearing capacity) and should be constructed on reinforced soil (piles should be used in case of weak soil) in order to prevent any depression resulting in cracks or collapses, leaks and permeation in accordance with technical construction regulations and standards.

A lining layer should be constructed around walls (the sub-surface part of a tank) and underneath the tank bottom, at least including the following materials: clay with permeability coefficient K ≤ 10-7 cm/s tightly compressed to have a thickness of ≥ 60 cm; membrane made of HDPE, PVC, butyl rubber, neoprene synthetic rubber or equivalent material with ≥ 02 mm thickness.

- The encapsulation tank must be roofed to prevent sunlight or rain for the entire tank surface, and solutions to preventing wind from directly getting inside each tank must be available from the stage of operation to that of closing of each tank.

- After being filled, each tank must be closed by a rigid and impermeable reinforced concrete cover under the provisions of technical regulations or standards concerning construction; such cover must be spread over the entire surface of this tank to completely prevent any leakage or permeation; the cover of each tank must have an additional lining layer as referred to in subparagraph 4 paragraph d clause 2 section V of this Appendix.

3. During the period when the Technical environmental regulations on hazardous waste landfills are not available, design and construction of a hazardous waste landfill must comply with contents of reports on environmental impact assessment, decisions on approval of such reports on the basis of the construction standards TCXDVN 320:2004 regarding hazardous waste landfills – Design standards. Operation of hazardous waste landfills must conform to contents of licenses for hazardous waste treatment on the basis of the Decision No. 60/2002/QD-BKHCNMT dated August 7, 2002 of the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment providing the technical guidance on disposal and burial of hazardous wastes.

4. The area for installation of hazardous waste treatment systems or equipment must be equipped with the followings:

b) Absorbent materials (such as dry sand or sawdust) and shovels used in case of spillages, leakages or overflows of liquid hazardous wastes.

c) First aid kit. First aid boxes, and emergency baking soda containers used for neutralizing acid burns in case of treatment of wastes having acid properties, must be kept in place.

d) Communications devices (fixed telephones).

dd) Alarming systems (such as sirens, horns, bells, alarms and loudspeakers).

e) Fire escape maps and instructions (fire exit or escape signs) must be installed at all visible points of corridors, passageways or aisles.

g) Simplified instruction boards regarding safe operation procedures for these systems or equipment, and emergency response processes (including the list of telephone numbers of environmental regulators, police, emergency and fire fighting authorities within local jurisdictions), internal rules of labor safety and health protection (including orders for use of personal protective equipment). They must have proper measurement and must be visible to operators, and must be clear, easy to read and unblurred.

...

VI. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WORKS AND MEASURES

1. Have environmental protection works to treat exhaust gases emitted from all operations taking place at hazardous waste treatment and transit premises (where appropriate) to ensure conformity with the prevailing Technical environmental regulations before discharge of these gases out into the surrounding environment, or adopt other exhaust gas control measures.

2. Have environmental protection works to treat sewage emitted from all operations taking place at hazardous waste treatment and transit premises (where appropriate) to ensure conformity with the prevailing Technical environmental regulations before discharge of these sewage out into the surrounding environment, or adopt other sewage control measures.

3. Areas where environmental protection works are constructed for treatment of exhaust gases or sewage must have notice boards of simplified instructions on safe operation processes which have proper size and position to be visible to operators, are printed in a clear, readable and unblurred manner.

4. Provide either forced or natural ventilation, or air conditioning measures, inside warehouses, factories to reduce harmful dusts, odor or gases, and maintain the temperature of less than 35°C (except when the outdoor temperature is higher than 35°C.)

5. Have noise and vibration control measures in case of such noise or vibration produced in excess of statutory limits referred to in applicable regulatory standards or technical environmental regulations.

6. The system or equipment for treatment of hazardous wastes containing an amount of organic halogen ingredient which exceeds stipulated hazardous waste threshold referred to in the Technical environmental regulations on hazardous waste thresholds must be supported by automatic and continuous environmental monitoring devices, except for treatment of hazardous wastes by using solidification or burying methods. In other circumstances, automatic and continuous environmental monitoring devices shall be required upon the request of the authority having competence in approving reports on environmental impact assessment, or of licensing authorities. Monitoring parameters shall be set out by these authorities by taking into consideration practical situations with reference to the applicable technical environmental regulations.

VII. OTHER PROVISIONS

1. Notwithstanding technical requirements referred to in this Appendix, equipment or facilities used for collection, carriage, storage and treatment of hazardous wastes in the healthcare sector must comply with prevailing regulations on healthcare waste management.
