Legal and Regulatory Ramifications

If implemented, the risk-based waste classification system presented in this Report would have impacts on the current waste classification systems for radioactive and hazardous chemical wastes. While it is expected that most wastes would be classified in accordance with current plans for their disposal, there would be some notable impacts on waste classification and waste management.

Section 7 then addresses the implications of the recommended risk-based waste classification system. By assuming key parameters (e.g., values of acceptable risk, characteristics of exposure scenarios) and applying the system to a variety of example waste streams, the question of how existing wastes would be classified in the new system is investigated. This Section also summarizes the legal and regulatory ramifications of the proposed hazardous waste classification system. 

MSF officers are scientists with MD or PhD or PharmD qualifications. They are usually specialized in an area of research, and thus, are often experts in their own fields. Because they are usually Medical Affairs employees, they do not report to Sales and their job metrics are not determined by commercial success. The separation of Sales and MSF activities is important as otherwise would lead to regulatory and legal ramifications.
