Road ballast (code 16 12 25*, 17 05 07*) generated from roadworks can contain hazardous elements. Proper handling of such materials is essential for effective hazardous waste management and environmental safety.
Key aspects include:
- storage of hazardous waste: in sealed containers or designated zones;
- transportation of hazardous waste: according to ADR regulations and safety labeling;
- recycling of hazardous waste: at certified facilities with environmental clearance.
Hazardous waste management includes material composition analysis and contamination assessment. Reuse is allowed only after thorough testing and decontamination.
Industrial sites must ensure environmental maintenance through audits, safety protocol updates, and staff training to comply with handling rules.
