Disposal of hazardous waste
Even if NTNU has a Safety Adviser, we should still contact Norsk Gjenvinning AS with questions regarding packaging, labelling and ordering transport of hazardous waste. See Handling hazardous and chemical wastes for more information about the disposal of hazardous and chemical waste.
Requirement for a Safety Adviser
Regulation of land-carriage of hazardous goods § 10 (in Norwegian) and ADR/RID 2015 chapter 1.8 (in Norwegian) sets forth that establishments whose activities comprise transport, packaging, filling or unloading of hazardous goods must have one or several Safety Adviser(s).
"Hazardous goods" are substances and items of which transport is illegal pursuant to ADR/RID (in Norwegian), or only allowed under the conditions specified in these regulations. NTNU is subject to these regulations with regard to, among other things, classification, packaging, filling, loading and sending of hazardous goods to be transported on public roads.
