1 Introduction1.1 Purpose This procedure describes the approach UCLan will take to manage and mitigate its potential to pollute the environment as a category of significant environmental aspects (ENV004), within the University’s Environmental Management System (EMS), to ensure the University’s operations remain compliant with relevant parts of its:

Environmental Sustainability Policy; Environmental Management Plan ENV020; Compliance Obligations including legal and other requirements- Legislation Register

ENV006 (Newground Legislation Update Service – contact [email protected] for access, including;

o The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001o Water Industry Act 1991 as amended by Water Industry Act 1999o The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2015 o The Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations 2015o The Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2015o Clean Air Act 1993 as amendedo The Smoke Control Areas (Authorised Fuels) (England) Regulations

2014o Anti-Pollution Works Regulations 1999o The Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012o The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 o Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 o Radioactive Substances Act 1993 as amended o The Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2016o Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998o Noise and Statutory Nuisance Act 1993o Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005o Contaminated Land (England) Regulations 2006o The Environmental Protection (Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and

other Dangerous Substances) (England and Wales) Regulations 2000

UCLan’s Environmental Aspects Register (ENV004) identifies the University’s use of gases (including refrigerant) and the delivery and storage of hazardous materials as having the most significant impact on the environment. This aspect will therefore be the focus of our mitigation and management within the EMS. However, as a matter of good practice we will also outline operational controls required to ensure pollution prevention in line with related legal requirements.

2.1 Emergency Response

Releases and spillages of environmentally hazardous substances (e.g. any substance that if released into the environment would cause damage, including; oils, chemicals, inks, dairy products) need to be dealt with safely and effectively in order to reduce the risk of injury to people, damage to University premises and the environment.

Note: The procedures for dealing with spills associated with radioactive substances (section 3.10), asbestos (section 3.8) and F-gases (section 3.4) are of a specialist nature as detailed in Local Rules, the following response is not relevant for these hazardous substance.

2.1.1 Category of Incident

Level Category Example description of incident

4

Local incident A leakage or spillage of an environmentally hazardous substance that is contained within the local area, has not caused contamination and requires a relatively minor clean up by staff involved (ENVREC049 Spill Containment- Locations and Competent Persons)

3Local but significant incident contained on site

A leakage or spillage of an environmentally hazardous substance that is contained on site but may require significant clean up by other UCLan staff or a contractor.

2

Minor Incident - Breach of exemption or consent/permit where the breach does not require United Utilities or Environment Agency to be notified.

An exemption limit, consent or permit has been breached.A list of exemptions that the University has for our operations (water and waste) can be found on the staff intranet

1Major Incident - Breach of exemption or legislation (notifiable to Environment Agency or United Utilities)

Leakage or spillage of oil, other hazardous substances or waste that escapes from the site (e.g. into a brook, canal, river, air or uncovered ground).

2.1.2 Dealing with Spills

In the event of a release or spillage of a hazardous substance take the following action:

Step 1: Initial Action

Raise the alarm Seal off the area and alert others in the vicinity; Find a colleague - do not attempt to clean up a spill while you are alone.

Assess the risk If there are local spill containment trained staff call them to the scene; or

Call Security by dialling 2068 who will then contact the most relevant person from the list of competent persons ENVREC049 ;

If you feel any spillage is too large or dangerous for you to control, obtain help, call SHE section or Security on 2068 out of hours;

For large spillages/releases of flammable liquids/gases (>5litres) sound the fire alarm.

First steps

Attend to people who may be contaminated with the spilled material or contact a First Aid Officer;

Select appropriate personal protective equipment; Ventilate the area by opening windows.

Note: Check hazard labels and locate the relevant COSHH Assessment or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to help assess the risk and select appropriate PPE (see section 3.9).

If following the assessment the spillage is within the capabilities of the locally trained spill containment trained staff steps 2-4 should be followed.

Step 2: Containment

Location of spill kits and locally trained spill containment staff are recorded in ENVREC049. There are two types of mobile kits; oil selective spill kits and chemicals The Hazardous Waste Store (Stewart Building) contains additional equipment for use in larger incidents, the SHE section, LIS Technician and Security all have access to this kit. Due to space restrictions the sweeper vehicle has on board oil selective pads rather than a full kit. Appendix A lists the contents of spill kits on campus.

Stopping it getting worse Stop the flow at source using appropriate kit e.g. absorbent cushions for wedging

into difficult spaces, clay for plugging holes; Upright or roll damaged containers; Do not walk/drive through any spilt material to reduce contamination of a wider area.

Protect drains Protect drains to stop pollution entering drainage systems using appropriate kit e.g.

absorbent socks acting as a dam, clay mat to cover drains.

Step 3: Clean Up & Decontaminate

Soak up the spill Use the absorbent material in the spill kits to soak up any liquid spills e.g. absorbent

pads; Work from the outside, circling to the inside for final pick up of the spilled material;

Decontaminate

https://www5.uclan.ac.uk/ou/fm/resource-centre/External%20Library/ENV%20016%20Waste%20Management%20-%20Envtal%20Mgt%20Procedure.docx


Ensure the area affected, adjacent areas and equipment are fully decontaminated (check floors directly above/below as appropriate);

Do not allow staff and student to re-enter an area until it has been fully decontaminated;

Pack the contaminated absorbent material and any contaminated equipment, other substances (e.g. contaminated soil) in a suitable container of a compatible material;

Fully label all containers of contaminated material with the name of the spilled substance, associated hazards and type of contents contaminated (e.g. absorbent pads) or use clear bags to identify contents if appropriate;

Complete ENVREC028a Hazardous waste transfer note and arrange disposal with the SHE section - the waste material and absorbents must be treated as hazardous waste and must be disposed of as such.

Step 4: Reporting and Re-stocking

Reporting Report all spillages/releases to the SHE Section on an Environmental Incident/ Near

Miss/ Nonconformity Reporting Form (ENVREC040); An investigation will follow (see section 2.1.5).

Re-stocking Ensure the spill kit is replenished, by contacting the relevant responsible person as

detailed in the spill kit; The SHE section conducts checks on the oil selective ‘grab and go’ spill kits and the

hazardous waste store kit as part of the internal audits on pollution prevention. The Principal Technician (Labs) is responsible for checking the chemical ‘grab and

go’ spill kits are fully stocked.

2.1.3 Health and Safety PrecautionsDuring an incident the safeguarding of life and health is paramount and should not be compromised in order to protect equipment, buildings or the environment. The main risks to the health and safety of personnel involved in the spillage/pollution operation are:

Fire/explosion & Inhalation of toxic fumes

Contamination of skin/body surface

Asphyxiation due to oxygen starvation

All members of University staff who are trained to deal with spillages, should be aware of the risks, and should consider the following guidelines when dealing with a spillage:

Approach the spillage from an upwind direction Wear the appropriate protective clothing Remove the contaminated clothing as soon as possible Seek medical advice if ill effects are experienced Do not smoke Do not operate electrical or battery powered equipment, unless told it is safe to do so. Do not eat or drink with contaminated hands or whilst wearing contaminated clothing

2.1.4 Emergency Plan

The Emergency Management Plan sets assigns the responsibilities to a dedicated Emergency Management team.

If the incident involves incident level 1 or 2 (Minor or Major incident) (section 2.1.1) a member of either the Executive Team or Emergency Management Team must decide if the University Emergency Management Plan should be initiated.

The Emergency Management Plan should be initiated in the event of an emergency arising from the following environmental hazards:

Flood; Fire; Release of chemical substance, genetically modified or biological; Release of loss of radioactive material

2.1.5 Level of investigation and responsibility

The table below will assist in determining the level of investigation which is appropriate for the incident. Remember to consider the worst potential consequences of the incident (e.g. an oil spill at USA may have been adequately contained but could have reached a surface water drain leading direct to surface water (ponds) and poisoning protected wildlife.

3 Preventative Operational ControlsIn many cases, pollution incidents can be prevented if appropriate pollution prevention measures are in place or immediately available. It is the duty of all members of the University to ensure that where possible, they do not knowingly contribute to such an incident. Environmental permitting legislation exists to ensure only acceptable quantities of substances are released into the environment.

This procedure documents the preventative operational controls taken by the University to ensure legal compliance and prevent pollution.

Common Causes of Pollution

Pollution incidents tend to result from a combination of causes, which include:

Inadequate storage tanks, bunds, valves and pipework. Lack of means of containment and appropriately intercepted drainage systems where

products and vehicles are stored and handled, and where vehicles are washed down. Unforeseen equipment or installation failures. Inadequate procedures and non-compliance with procedures, including overfilling of

tanks and other containers and accidental spillage during delivery/transfer and transport of products.

Leaks due to vandalism, sabotage and fire. Lack of awareness or deliberate illegal disposal e.g. fly-tipping Lack of briefing and supervision of contractors working on site.

3.1 Water Pollution

Almost any solid, liquid or gaseous substance entering surface waters or groundwater could cause pollution. Substances that are not usually considered harmful can cause serious damage if they are released into the water environment. These substances include: chemicals, salt, metals, wash waters, waste products, sewage effluent, trade effluents, sediments, oils, greases and fuel products, paint and ink, detergents, milk and milk products, fruit juice, hot water or contaminated rainwater. The University uses and disposes of substances which are unsuitable for discharge to surface waters or groundwater without being treated first.

There are different pieces of legislation that affect water, by being aware of the following terms, their meaning and complying with the preventative controls detailed, legislative compliance will be maintained and pollution incidents avoided:

3.1.1 Controlled Waters

Surface waters include; rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, streams, canals, ditches, coastal waters and estuaries. Surface water drains at the University Sports Arena (USA) discharge directly to surface waters i.e. ponds, canal, brook.

Groundwater is all water below the surface of the ground in the saturation zone, i.e. below the water table.

Controlled waters are all surface waters, coastal waters and ground waters (this is groundwater and all water in the ground above the saturated zone i.e. above the water table).

of 31


Staff must not allow poisonous, noxious or polluting matter to enter a surface water drain at USA as they lead directly to surface waters or groundwater. Surface water drains at USA are marked in Blue to identify them.

The University does not have a permit or authorisation from the Environment Agency to discharge any substance other than clean, uncontaminated run-off to surface water or groundwater.

On the Preston City Campus, United Utilities have confirmed (see ENVREC 044 for details) that surface water drains are part of a combined foul/ surface system. All substances entering the surface water drains on this site will therefore pass through a water treatment plant.

3.1.2 Foul Water

Foul waters are effluents that require treatment to improve their quality prior to discharge into the environment. Trade Effluent is any liquid waste (effluent) that is discharged from premises being used for a business, trade or industry and is controlled under discharge consents.

Trade effluent may consist of waste water contaminated with materials such as: fats, oils, greases, chemicals, detergents, heavy metal rinses, solids, food wastes and vehicle washings. The only liquid wastes which are not classed as trade effluent are:

domestic sewage; clean, uncontaminated surface water, i.e. clean rainwater which has not been

contaminated when running over the site.

3.1.3 Trade Effluent

The University does not have a trade effluent a consent or agreement from United Utilities to discharge any substance other than domestic sewage and clean, uncontaminated water run-off into the combined foul water system. Therefore, all the materials listed below are controlled to prevent them entering the drain:

Material Type University disposal route/ procedure Operational controls

Cooking fats Cooking residues (oils and fats) are recycled using an external contractor along with waste food.Internal fat traps are installed in Foster kitchen to intercept fats and oils from dishwashing and prevent them reaching the foul sewer.Responsibility: Estates Services Maintenance are responsible for quarterly inspections and emptying at least annuallyDosing systems containing micro-organisms (Grease paks) are installed in Harrington kitchen to break down any fats and oils from dishwashing. The record ENVREC120 is used to record dates of pak replacement and ensure stock availability.Responsibility: Catering Manager is responsible for

ensuring these records are kept and grease paks replaced.Note: Waste cooking oil is collected by an external contractor for recycling (see 3.2.2)

Chemicals LIS Technicians take waste chemicals from across the University classed as any of the following: Explosive, Oxidizing, Flammable, Toxic, Harmful, Irritant, Corrosive, Dangerous to the Environment, or classified as Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, Teratogenic or Ecotoxic to the Hazardous Waste store in the Stewart Building for Hazardous Waste Disposal.

LIS Technicians also collect waste oils & lubricants from Engineering to the Hazardous Waste store in the Stewart Building for Hazardous Waste Disposal.(see 3.2.2)

ENV016

Detergents Only domestic quantities used i.e. Halls of residence launderette.

Not applicable

Solids Silt traps have been installed in the following areas of the University:(1) Ceramics workshop, Victoria buildingResponsibility: Maintenance Manager (Buildings)Sinks are fitted with silt traps, these are checked regularly and the contents emptied into a general waste bin.(2) Concrete Laboratory, Harris BuildingThe disposal grid is fitted with a sump and settlement tank to allow slurry to settle out. It requires a technician to empty it.Responsibility: Maintenance Manager (Buildings)(3) Vehicle wash down area (USA).Responsibility: Grounds Maintenance ManagerThere is a vehicle wash off area at the University Sports Arena (USA) for grounds vehicle use. Up to 2 vehicles may be washed down with water (no detergent) from a hose each day. A silt trap is fitted within the wash down area. The collection chamber is connected to the site foul sewer network. United Utilities have confirmed in writing that this facility is exempt from requiring a trade effluent discharge consent (ENVREC088).Before each use grounds staff will check whether the silt trap needs emptying. If it does they will arrange for it to be emptied.

The management of silt in site runoff water during a construction project will be managed by Master Plan Capital Projects team in line with ENV015.

Compost leachate

At USA the compost facility has a leachate drain, connected to the United Utility Foul Sewer.ENVREC111 details confirmation from United Utilities that no additional trade effluent consent is required for our composting leachate.To reduce the spread of evasive species, leachate and potential odour the compost heaps must be:

Covered during winter months; Turned every month to aerate

The Environment Agency Guidance Note ‘T23 Aerobic Composting and associated prior treatment’ details the limits on the volumes of waste that can be stored at any one time:You can store or treat up to 80 tonnes of waste at a time if you are:

composting waste generated [on your farm] and you are using the compost on your farmland.

You can store or treat up to 60 tonnes of waste at a time if you are:

bringing waste from other places onto your farm and composting it; or

composting your farm waste and it is going to be used elsewhere.

To minimise odour and leachate generation within these limits, you can compost up to:

10 tonnes of paper or cardboard 20 tonnes of manure 10 tonnes in total of the wastes listed in Table 2

of T23.

ENVREC111

3.2 Oil Pollution

Oil accounts for over one quarter of all pollution incidents in the UK. Many drains lead directly to rivers, streams or lakes. If you allow oil to enter these drains, it has the same effect as pouring it directly into the watercourse. Oil is poisonous to fish and other wildlife and it smothers plants. Just two litres of oil could seriously pollute the volume of fresh water needed to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool and make it undrinkable. The University may be prosecuted and fined if oil from its site enters the ground or surface waters and may have to pay substantial clean-up costs.

For the purpose of this procedure the term ‘oil’ includes: petrol, diesel, central-heating oil, lubricating oil, mineral oil, vegetable and plant oil.

of 31


3.2.1 Oil Spill Prevention

To prevent oil spills and ensure legal compliance; University staff purchasing oil, altering exiting oil storage facilities or creating new ones must ensure the following conditions are met:

Deliveries and Collections

Deliveries of oil and the collection of waste oil are supervised by a member of UCLan staff trained in spillage containment. A spill containment kit must be located to hand during the delivery or collection to ensure in the event of a spillage it can be contained before oil escapes to the drainage network, open soil or controlled water. This may involve moving the kit to an easily accessible position (potentially outside) prior to commencement of delivery.

Before a delivery of oil is made to a bulk tank, a member of UCLan staff must verify to the delivery driver the empty capacity of the oil storage tank.

Individuals involved in deliveries must maintain records that demonstrate deliveries have been supervised and capacity checks completed where relevant using form ENVREC050.

Storage

Wherever possible oil should be stored using a suitable container situated inside a building. The oil storage equipment must be strong enough to ensure that it is unlikely to burst or leak during ordinary use. Containers must be stored within a drip tray, bund or other suitable secondary containment system (SCS) to ensure any oil that escapes from its container is captured.

It is the responsibility of staff purchasing oil or altering/ creating oil storage for use by the University to ensure the oil tanks, intermediate bulk containers and mobile bowsers (including diesel generators) being used, have a secondary containment system that must be able to hold:

at least 110% of the volume of any single container in the storage area, or if there is more than one container, at least 110% of the largest container’s storage

volume, or at least 25% of their total volume (whichever is greater). For drum storage the drip tray must be able to hold at least 25% of the total storage

capacity of the drums. The SCS should be positioned to minimise the risk of damage, e.g. from vehicles.

Pipework

Estates Services and Capital Projects staff must ensure the following pipework requirements are met when altering or creating new oil storage facilities:

All valves, filters, sight gauges, vent pipes and other equipment, other than fill pipes or draw-off pipes or pumps must be located within the SCS.

The base and walls of the bund must not be penetrated by any valve, pipe or opening that is used for draining the system.

If any fill pipe or draw-off pipe goes through the base or walls, the junction of the pipe with the base or walls must be sealed to prevent oil escaping from the system.

of 31

http://www.cskills.org/


Where a fill pipe is not within the SCS, a drip tray to catch any oil spilled when the container is being filled must be purchased and agreement/ procedure obtained from operational staff responsible for use of the facilities that ensures the drip tray is clean and empty before each delivery.

3.2.2 Operational Controls for Oil

Diesel Generators

The University has the following diesel generators on site:

Location Size Plant serial number Tank CapacityAdelphi 500 Kva FGWRPES4EPWC0040 1000 LitresC&T 350 Kva FGWRPES200S04948 820 LitresMobile Unit 60 Kva Musgrave 50 LitresDarwin 250 Kva FGWNAV01EFOA08598 550 LitresDarwin 330 Kva D9A2A*7009154353 820 Litres

The Oil Storage Regulations rules apply to all of the stand by generators listed above, with the exception of the mobile unit, because it is has a tank capacity of less than 200 litres.

The Building Services Manager is responsible for ensuring the maintenance and refuelling of generators is compliant with the Oil Storage Regulations. A specialist maintenance contractor is employed to service (up to four times a year) and refuels the generators as required. Refuelling is undertaken by the specialist contractor using a mobile bowser which they bring with them and connect to the oil storage tanks. A member of UCLan Staff supervises all deliveries and is responsible for ensuring that the contractors have a spill containment kit at hand for use in case of a spillage.

Estates Services staff involved in deliveries must maintain records that demonstrate deliveries have been supervised and capacity checks completed where relevant using form ENVREC050

All of the generators have integral, double skinned diesel storage tanks. The refuelling points are capped off and locked within the generator. Visual checks of each of the diesel generators are undertaken within the servicing contract.

Petrol Generators

The University also has two mobile unleaded petrol generators which are stored in the Harrington Building Mains Room and the storage container on Vernon Car Park. Estates Services Maintenance Section staff are responsible for the safe use of these generators including refuelling. Fuel is purchased by members of the section from a petrol station as required and transferred from portable containers into the generator.

Diesel tank

Within the compound at the University Sports Arena; oil and petrol used to operate Grounds equipment is stored within bunded containers within the compound. The red diesel storage tank has an integral, double skinned SCS with alarm fitted and is sited with the compound which is secured at night and during holiday periods. The Head Groundsman must maintain

Transformers

Periodically oil transformers on site have their oil changed by Electricity North West Limited (ENWL). The Building Services Manager checks that the relevant waste management licences are held by the contractor appointed.

Waste Cooking Oil

Waste cooking oil is recycled using an external contractor. Oil collection drums have a capacity of less than 200litres. Drums are stored in a secured cage and should be away from open drains. Spill kits available in Foster and Harrington kitchen. Associated disposal records (waste transfer notes) to be kept in Catering for 2 years.Responsibility: Catering Manager

Motorsport/ Engineering Oils and Lubricants

Waste oils and lubricants are collected in 205litre drums, stored inside on a bund. These are disposed of as hazardous waste by LIS Technicians and collected by the external hazardous waste contractor in line with the waste management procedure ENV016.

3.3 Fertilizer, Plant Protection Products

Estates Services Operations Section use fertilizers and weedkiller on the pitches at the University Sports Arena and on campus. The University is committed to using as little of these products as possible. Where their use is necessary, products with the most negligible environmental impact should be purchased. The Head Groundsman is responsible for:

Conducting an annual soil analysis to inform the mix of fertilisers required over the following year and ordering products accordingly;

Ensuring only approved substances are purchased (further details of the main approval agencies are listed in the Legislation Register);

Ensuring the secure storage of the products away from surface water drainage; Ensuring the application by square metre of the products is efficient in relation to

need, to prevent the excessive consumption of resources and prevent pollution; Ensuring that team members are trained in the sustainable use of products; Ensuring grounds equipment is brushed down before being hosed off in the vehicle

wash down area to minimise the amount of product washed into the foul sewer.

The products used by the University; their format, storage location and average volumes are listed in the following table:

3.4 Ozone Depleting Substances/F- Gases

of 31


There are two types of refrigeration and air-conditioning units (RAC) at UCLan that use refrigerant gas; Split air conditioners and chillers. Refrigerants in RAC systems may contain:

Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) –e.g. hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (F Gases) –e.g. hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)

Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) are substances that if allowed to escape would damage the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. Many ODS are banned (e.g. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)) or are being phased out and must not be released into the atmosphere;

the use of HCFCs in new equipment was banned in 2001 and on 1st January 2015 the use of ‘recycled’ and ‘reclaimed’ HCFCs to top up or service existing equipment was also banned.

F gases are powerful greenhouse gases which are often used as a replacement for ODS and are themselves carefully controlled because of their high global warming potential and are also subject to a phase down.

The University employs specialist maintenance contractors to service, maintain and repair these refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment. It is the responsibility of the Building Services Manager to keep Records (the F-gas Register) and manage these contracts to ensure that contractors have the correct licensing certificates in place and ensure the following:

Equipment is tested for leaks All gases are recovered during servicing, maintenance and at the end of the

equipment's life; Qualified personnel are employed to service and decommission the equipment (see

below); Gas is transported in refillable containers; Containers are labelled as reclaimed with the batch number and the source; Records are kept about the University’s equipment, including service history; Leaks if found are repaired within 14 days; Systems are re-checked for leaks within one month of repair.

Service and maintenance personnel working on HFC and HCFC RAC systems at UCLan must hold, or be supervised by someone, who has one of the following minimum qualifications:

Cit y & G ui lds Level 2 Award F-Gas and ODS Regulations 2079-13Construction Industry Training Board Safe Handling of Refrigerants Reference J11-14

The level of qualification required depends on the specific task involved.

Sulphur hexafluoride is a powerful F-gas used in small quantities in the transmission electron microscope. Under the F-gas Regulations the supplier is required to confirm its legitimate use before future supplies are made. Responsibility: Principal Technician.

3.5 Waste Management

of 31

http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/


A detailed Waste Management Procedure (ENV016) has been developed as part of the EMS. ENV016 describes the management steps and responsibilities for ensuring waste is collected, stored and disposed of to ensure legal compliance and the prevention of pollution.

NOTE: All refrigeration appliances must be disposed as hazardous waste to a licensed waste contractor or returned to supplier of replacement appliances as WEEE to ensure refrigerants are disposed of correctly.

3.6 Contaminated Land

The UCLan campus is the site of previous industrial activities so the potential for uncovering contamination is high. There is also the potential for University activities to cause land contamination following a spillage or leak of a chemical or fuel. Contaminated land may be hazardous to the environment and human health.

Site purchase

Before purchasing a new site it is important to conduct due diligence investigations to identify any historical land contamination. These preventative requirements and related responsibilities are detailed in the Land Development and Buildings Environmental Management Procedure (ENV015).

Prevention of land contamination

Staff involved in the purchase, storage, use, disposal of chemicals, fuels and solvents as well as the design of the facilities for storage, use and disposal of them should wherever possible adhere to the following best practice to prevent land contamination:

Description of Best Practice Responsible Person

Operational Control

Source the least harmful chemicals and solvents for each application.

Staff purchasing the material

Recommendation Only - Local controls

If no alternatives exist, try to reduce the amount that is used, and only store the amount that you actually need at any time.

Staff using the material

Recommendation Only - Local controls

Regularly inspect and maintain all plant, pipework and other infrastructure, checking for damage, leaks and overflows.

Staff using the plant, pipework and infrastructure

Report any concerns to the ES Helpdesk to be progressed using: University Reactive Maintenance Response Times for Repairs.

Keep materials that could harm the environment separate from other materials at all times. This includes: oils, solvents, pesticides, chemicals, radioactive substances.

Staff purchasing and using the materials

containers. materialsStore all oil and chemicals in an area where spills can be contained.

Staff responsible for storing the materials

Store all oil and chemicals in an area where spills can be contained. This should be within an impermeable bund or secondary containment system (SCS). For further information see section 3.2 on oil storage

Supervise deliveries of materials and fuels to site. Clearly label tanks with their contents and storage capacity and provide a method for measuring the amount in the tank. This will reduce the risk of spills from overfilling.

Staff responsible for supervising deliveries and collections

Visual checks of bunds and supervision of deliveries and collections required. See 3.2 on oil storage

3.7 Environmental Nuisance

The University is committed to ensuring that disturbance and nuisance especially noise arising from our operations is kept to an acceptable level through the following operational controls. Potential sources of nuisance on campus are as follows:

Procedure ENV016 on Waste Management details the procedure in the case of illegally dumped waste on campus.

Estates services _Operations

Any stakeholder complaints relating to nuisance should be directed to the School or Service responsible for the operations cited in the complaint, see table above. Due to the structure of the University, the majority of activities listed above, identified as potential sources of complaint, are managed by Capital Projects and Estates services. Complaints relating to nuisance should be logged on an Environmental Incident/ Near Miss/ Nonconformity Reporting Form (ENVREC040), the completed form should be sent to the Environment and Sustainability Manager for entering on the EMS Action Tracking System (ENV REC 027).

The SHE Section are responsible for conducting noise assessments as required to identify if noise complaints are justified, details of the assessment should be forwarded to the Environment and Sustainability Manager who will update the EMS Action Tracking System accordingly.

3.8 Asbestos

Asbestos fibres can be very damaging to human health and the environment. Asbestos is toxic and does not break down easily. As a result it remains in the environment for a long time.

Asbestos was used extensively in construction and building maintenance during the 1940s-1990s for its insulation and fire-proofing properties. The use of asbestos has been banned since 1999. It may be found in any building built or refurbished before 2000, in the floor, wall, ceiling or roofing materials, or in contaminated soils.

The University’s Statutory Compliance Manager is responsible for the management of the University’s Asbestos Register, in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006, SI 2739 and the more recent Asbestos Guidance HSG246.A Refurbishment and Demolition (R&D) survey is required prior to ordering intrusive work.

3.9 COSHH

Delivery and handling of chemicals on our sites can cause pollution if containers leak for example. Any chemicals received by the University must be supplied with a materials safety data sheet (MSDS). The MSDS contains information about the chemical, including how to store, use and dispose of it safely. The MSDS may also recommend the best methods and materials to use for cleaning up a spill. If a chemical is received without an MSDS, contact the supplier to find out whether or not they have to provide one. Staff who receive deliveries or organise the storage of chemicals on site are responsible for ensuring the following pollution prevention measures are undertaken:

Deliveries of chemicals and fuels must be supervised by a member of UCLan staff; Label all tanks and containers clearly with their contents and storage capacity. Check

levels before deliveries to prevent overfilling and spills; Locate delivery areas to minimise the vehicle movements on site; Drains from delivery areas should connect to the foul sewer; The delivery area should have an impermeable surface; If filling tanks, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) or mobile bowsers, check that

delivery pipes have automatic cut-off valves to prevent overfilling.

3.10 Radioactive Materials

Low level radioactive materials (unsealed and sealed) are used within research and teaching. Under the Radioactive Substances Act 1993 and Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010 the University has an ‘Authorisation to accumulate & dispose of unsealed radioactive waste no. AV0266’. Local Rules are in place within each area that uses radioactive substances; SHE 022 Local Rules for unsealed radioactive sources and SHE 023 Local Rules for sealed radioactive sources. The University’s Radiation Protection Officer (SHE Adviser) is responsible for compliance with all legislation regarding radioactive substances.

3.11 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

PCBs are a class of organic compounds which were widely used for many applications, especially as dielectric fluids in transformers, capacitors, and coolants. Due to PCB's toxicity and classification as a persistent organic pollutant, PCB production has now been banned.

The University has a ‘Control Operation and Maintenance Agreement (Ref Number: 94060)’ with United Utilities Utility Solutions (Industrial) Limited for transformers used by the University. ENVREC008 documents the transformers maintained by United Utilities and their confirmation that the PCB levels detected in these transformers is well below 50ppm, the recognised limit within the related regulations.

3.12 Smoke Control

The University has installed a biomass boiler under the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). The campus is within a designated Smoke Control Area as designated by Preston City Council and therefore the boiler make and model must be listed as an exempt appliance by Defra. The biomass installed at Greenbank building is a Herz Firematic 199 which is an exempt appliance when burning wood or wood pellets and therefore permissible under the Smoke Control Areas (Authorised Fuels) (England) Regulations 2014.

of 31


An RHI emissions certificate ENVREC113 is confirmation that the boiler meets the RHI air quality requirements of the non-domestic RHI. Compliance under the Clean Air Act 1993 to ensure no dark smoke is emitted is via a service agreement with Rural Energy to service the boiler and to clean the flue and silo twice a year. Rural Energy also check the accuracy of the heat meter for compliance under the RHI.UCLan purchase wood pellets through a Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) authorised supplier to ensure they meet the eligibility requirements for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. ENPlus A1 are used to ensure the highest quality pellet is used. These are sustainably sourced from 100% virgin timber and the low ash, low dust and high ash melting temperatures reduce boiler downtime and maintenance costs.

Responsibility: Building Services Manager, Energy and Carbon Management Officer

3.13 Gas Safety / Boiler Emissions

The University must test the emissions of boilers annually to ensure they are; safe to use, efficiency is maximised and unnecessary emissions to air minimised. The Building Services Manager is responsible for ensuring the necessary checks of boilers in estate buildings including halls of residence are conducted annually and in accordance with the requirements of the relevant legislation. The Building Services Manager contracts out the work to a registered Gas Safe Engineering firm for 3 year contracts, two tenders are sent out one for academic buildings and the other for halls of residence.The Building Services Manager is responsible for ensuring the following steps are taken:

installation pipe work, appliances and flues are maintained in a safe condition; an annual safety check is carried out on each appliance and/or flue used; maintenance and annual safety checks are carried out by a Gas Safe registered

installer; a record of each safety check is kept by the University for 2 years; in the case of halls of residence, the University must make available a copy of the

safety check to each existing tenant within 28 days of a check being completed, and to any new tenant before they move in. This opportunity is communicated to residents as part of the Student Accommodation Code of Practice;

all gas equipment (including any appliance left by a previous tenant) is safe or otherwise removed before re-letting;

that only Gas Safe registered installers are used to carry out work on gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants use.

3.14 Vehicle Emissions

Section 6.1 of the University’s Travel and Transport Environmental Management Procedure (ENV017) details how the University’s Fleet Vehicle Replacement Strategy gives consideration to the efficiency of replacement vehicles. The same section also describes how the University actively manages the servicing and MOTs of its fleet vehicles to ensure vehicle emissions are minimised.Responsibility: Business Services ManagerThe remainder of the Travel and Transport Environmental Management Procedure details the steps staff should take to ensure their necessary business travel is as sustainable as
