Sustainability & Risk / Hazard Abatement

Detailed Workflow of a Hazmat Project

The below flowchart provides a detailed overview of using the Archibus Hazard Abatement application to manage a hazmat project. As you review this flowchart, consider that the Hazard Abatement application is not intended to enforce this, or any, specific workflow; it is flexible enough to support all of the components depicted in the flowchart, in any order that your organization may want to follow.

Note the following about this flowchart:

  • This flowchart represents a workflow that uses assessment items as well as activity items ( service requests and action items ). For information on using activity items to manage your hazmat work, see activity item management tools .
  • The exact workflow that you follow and the level of detail that you implement will vary depending on the hazardous substance that you are managing.
  • Blue boxes represent the basic process; pink , red, and purple boxes represent optional processes . For example, it is not necessary to do a field audit to estimate the cost of an inspection or the cost of response actions; if the hazmat issue needs immediate attention, you might just go ahead and inspect the items and abate problems without going through a formal budgeting process.

For details on each step in the flowchart, click on its box; the system will present the topic documenting this step.
