Your company has been contracted to assess and cleanup a site that previously had a manufacturing facility
for an organochlorine pesticide (i.e., aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, eldrin, or heptachlor). You are tasked with
shipping these wastes off-site to a treatment, storage, disposal facility (TSDF) for disposal.
Review the information found in the 16-point GHS SDS for at least two of the organochlorine pesticides
detailed in this question. Describe how you would prepare for transport of these materials and ensure proper
shipping documentation based on DOT regulations (hazard class, descriptions, labels, markings, and
placards). Describe the importance of having these regulations in place when transporting hazardous
materials.
In the event that there is an emergency release of the material while being transported, describe the chemical
properties, uses, and ill effects that first responders may encounter upon arrival to the scene.
Summarize the information found in the SDS, and explain how that information prepares EHS and FS
professionals to assess and mitigate workplace hazards related to organochlorine pesticides during the
assessment and cleanup phases of the project.

Sample Solution

Ed Ruscha was born in Omaha Nebraska on December 16, 1937. He was born to his Father, Edward Ruscha, and his mother Dorothy Ruscha. His family also included two siblings. One was a brother, named Paul, and the other, a sister, named Shelby. His family was of the Roman Catholic religion, and his father was especially right and strict. His mother held more of an interest in the arts, and introduced this to Ed and his sister.
Ed’s father carried the occupation of an auditor for an insurance company, which eventually led him to move his family to Oklahoma City. They remained there for the following 15 years. While in Oklahoma City, Ruscha began to find himself interested in drawing cartoons, due to a neighbor of his who was a cartoonist. Eventually, it was time for Ruscha to move off to college. He applied to the Chouinard Art Institute in California. He later continued his studies at the California Institute of the Arts. During his time at school, Ruscha worked at Plantin Press for about 6 months. He worked in the commercial art industry for a while, mainly doing advertising, although he also did layout for a couple of different companies.
Ed Ruscha was associated as working in the Pop Art movement. This makes clear sense, because a lot of his inspiration came from pop culture in Los Angelos, as well as the scenery from the area in general. Through his work he contributed to influencing a new generation of artistic talent, which lead to the Neo-Pop movement. Ed Ruscha worked with many types of art including lithographs, etching, aquatint, and screen print, where he experimented with different types of organic dyes, rather than just using the ink from a printer.
Ed Ruscha created works that portrayed different meaning depending on the way the viewer chose to look at it. One example of this is his screen print called Standard Station. Across the top of the gas station in the print, it reads “STANDARD”. Standard Oil is the obvious direction that your mind would go if you knew about Standard Oil, however, he left out the word oil, leaving it open ended for the viewers to add meaning to the work. Ed Ruscha’s work did not go without response. Other artist across the world have responded to his works. An example of this would be Bruce Nauman. Bruce Nauman is an American artist, who deals in medias such as sculpture, photograph, drawing, neon, printmaking, and performance. Bruce Nauman’s work, which was titled, Burning Small Fires (1968), was a collection of pictu
