JOINT BASE CHARLESTON –
Joint Base Charleston-Weapons Station has adopted a new Hazardous Material Management Program as a one-stop shop.
The new program, IB Express Hazmart, provides the installation with a standard way to manage HAZMAT procurement and to comply with Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health requirements. IB Express Hazmart is a means of authorizing and procuring HAZMAT conveniently and timely while reducing the overall consumption and hazardous wastes at JB CHS-WS.
IB Express Hazmart has been in operation for more than 10 years, at JB CHS-Air Base, and the program has demonstrated the ability to reduce hazardous material procurement, usage and hazardous waste generation. The program achieved this through the combination of management controls, automated information system support and alternative product recommendations.
In accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7086, Section 2.3.1, the Hazmart on JB CHS-WS will provide customer service related to procurement, stocking, issuing and shelf-life management of HAZMAT for those shops they service. All HAZMAT (government and non-government) entering the installation must be tracked through the HAZMART.
The objectives of the Hazmat Management Program are:
- Shops are required to purchase through the HAZMART, in accordance with AFI 32-7086, Section 2.3.1
- Support accomplishment of joint base missions while minimizing HAZMAT usage
- Provide standardized HAZMAT service to the customer\
