A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Minimize Exposures Take the necessary precautions when working with and storing chemicals. As a means of minimizing the potential for exposure, pursue opportunities for product substitution.
Do Not Underestimate Risks Ensure that the risk associated with each chemical is assessed, understood and communicated. It is prudent to assume all chemicals are hazardous and handle them accordingly.
Use Proper Control Measures Eliminate the hazard through engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and administrative procedures. Ensure that all staff are properly trained in accordance with regulatory requirements (e.g., Laboratory Standard) so that they can operate safety at their job.
we have a comprehensive Chemical hygiene and hazard communication plan and rules for storage, disposal and use of all chemicals and hazardous materials.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
