HSMS: Full "Cradle to Grave" Implementation at Spawar Systems Center - San Diego

Abstract : The Hazardous Substance Management System (HSMS) is an automated system for "cradle to grave" tracking and managing of hazardous material (HM) and hazardous waste (HW). This paper describes the procedure for disposition of hazardous material as waste, the pilot transfer of hazardous waste, and how the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC SD) has successfully implemented HSMS to track HM and HW from cradle to grave.
