<br /> 1.According to the Waste Management Plan, missing or incomplete hazardous waste labels are to be corrected

<br /> open,were observed with incomplete labeling. The following facility hazardous waste containers are not inspected
<br /> weekly:
<br /> 1)A black container, about half filled with what appeared to be liquid pharmaceutical bottles and vaccine vials,was
<br /> observed, on the floor next to a sink,with a blank Hazardous Waste label on top of the container lid and not affixed
<br /> to the container(IMG 9521-23).According to Denise Farias, Shift Leader,the waste in this container is picked up
<br /> by the hazardous waste hauler, Stericycle.According to the Waste Management Plan, expired non-controlled
<br /> pharmaceuticals&empty liquid pharmaceutical containers, including vaccine vials, are to be placed in one
<br /> container and managed as hazardous waste(IMG 9548, 9551-6, 9567-9).The container was not labeled with the
<br /> following information:the words"Hazardous Waste", name and address of generator, hazardous properties,
<br /> physical state, composition (contents), and accumulation start date.
<br /> 2)A white container, storing at least two plastic bags of used absorbent,was observed on a counter near the sink
<br /> (IMG 9524-5).According to Denise and the Waste Management Plan,waste propofol and expired or waste liquid
<br /> pharmaceuticals are poured into a plastic bag containing absorbent,to allow the liquid to absorb into the
<br /> absorbent,which is then placed into the white container to be picked up by Stericycle(IMG 9570).The container
<br /> was not labeled with the following information:the words"Hazardous Waste", name and address of generator,
<br /> hazardous properties, physical state, composition (contents), and accumulation start date.

<br /> cabinet underneath the sink(IMG 9526-9).The container was not labeled with the following information:the name
<br /> and address of generator, and accumulation start date.
