A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Niagara College has completed a full hazardous waste audit to identify all areas of the college which produce hazardous waste. The Health and Safety Department acts as the central point of contact for all hazardous waste information on site. Each department that produces hazardous waste is required to conduct an annual inventory of hazardous waste materials stored on site and update it in the Material Safety Data Sheet Tracking software. This also allows the Health and Safety Department to monitor hazardous materials used and stored on site. During the annual inventory analysis, each department is encouraged to dispose of hazardous materials that are no longer required and only re-purchase what is necessary. Also, all Niagara College staff are required to conduct WHMIS course completion annually to ensure training is up to date.
None
