Sec. 264.34  Access to communications or alarm system.

    (a) Whenever hazardous waste is being poured, mixed, spread, or 
otherwise handled, all personnel involved in the operation must have 
immediate access to an internal alarm or emergency communication device, 
either directly or through visual or voice contact with another 
employee, unless the Regional Administrator has ruled that such a device 
is not required under Sec. 264.32.
    (b) If there is ever just one employee on the premises while the 
facility is operating, he must have immediate access to a device, such 
as a telephone (immediately available at the scene of operation) or a 
hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning external emergency 
assistance, unless the Regional Administrator has ruled that such a 
device is not required under Sec. 264.32.
