POLICY: Hazardous Waste Safety and Disposal — Clinical Laboratory <br />PURPOSE: <br />Transfer of hazardous chemical waste from laboratory accumulation site for disposal. <br />PRINCIPLE <br />To provide a safe working environment. <br />PROCEDURE <br />1. All flammable liquids, liquid toxins, liquid irritants, liquid corrosives, and liquid <br />carcinogens used in the Clinical Laboratory Department must be discarded in <br />appropriate containers. Appropriate containers include leak resistant plastic containers <br />with screw tight caps or, red Justrite oval style safety cans. <br />2. All Laboratory staff handling Hazardous Waste will wear appropriate protective <br />equipment, which may include barrier resistant lab coats, disposable gloves, safety <br />goggles, masks or respirators used to prevent exposing oneself to toxic or biologic <br />contamination. This protective clothing is removed and left in the Laboratory before <br />leaving for non -laboratory areas (e.g., cafeteria, library, administrative offices). All <br />protective clothing is either disposed of in the Laboratory or laundered by the institution; <br />it should never be taken home by personnel. <br />3. The transfer of chemical waste should take place inside a fume hood with the exhaust <br />fan turned on where available. The accumulation start date must be indicated in the <br />appropriate area on the hazardous waste label on the side of each container. <br />4. The full or partially full cans will be taken to a hazardous waste cabinet in the Materials <br />Management building on Cemetery Lane on a daily basis by the Lab Technician or <br />designated staff Monday thru Friday. All flammable chemical containers that are in use <br />or full will be kept on the bottom shelf of the flammable cabinet. <br />5. The Materials Management Department staff is responsible for emptying these small <br />containers into a 50 gallon drum and indicating the date it was emptied on the label of <br />the Justrite or leak resistant transport container. <br />6. Empty flammable chemical containers will be kept on the top shelf of the flammable <br />cabinet. <br />7. Laboratory staff will bring available empty containers back to the Lab for reuse. They will <br />remove the Hazardous Waste label after checking to make sure that the disposal ,date <br />was properly recorded on the label. The label will be filed in the Hazardous Waste binder <br />and a new Hazardous Waste Label will be applied to the container. The new label <br />applied to the container should only reflect the waste that will be collected in the <br />container. <br />
