<br /> 605 CCR 66262.34(f) Failed to completely label containers or portable tanks of hazardous waste.
<br /> OBSERVATION: Hazardous waste containers were observed on-site with incomplete labeling. The containers
<br /> were:
<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(see photos IMG 9521-23).According to Denise Farias, Shift Leader,the waste in this container is
<br /> picked up by the hazardous waste hauler, Stericycle.According to the Banfield Pet Hospital Waste Management
<br /> Plan, expired non-controlled pharmaceuticals&empty liquid pharmaceutical containers, including vaccine vials,
<br /> are to be placed in one container and managed as hazardous waste(IMG 9548, 9551-6, 9567-9).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 /> 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 /> 3.A white container, labeled as and storing Hazardous Waste Formalin with Tissue(F-T),was observed in a
<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.
<br /> 4.A white container, storing waste gram stain,which according to Denise is also picked up by Stericycle,was
<br /> observed in a cabinet underneath the sink(IMG 9530).The container was not labeled with the following
<br /> information:the words"Hazardous Waste", name and address of generator, hazardous properties, physical state,
<br /> composition (contents), and accumulation start date.
<br /> 5.A cardboard box, marked with the words"Expired Drugs,"and storing expired pharmaceuticals, according to
<br /> Denise,was observed near the facility entrance door, on a high shelf, and directly on top of the white container
<br /> labeled as Hazardous Waste Expired Rx Waste. Denise retrieved the cardboard box from the shelf for further
<br /> observation (IMG 9531).According to the Waste Management Plan, expired non-controlled pharmaceuticals, and
<br /> hazardous expired controlled pharmaceuticals(included on the list in Appendix A), are to be managed as
<br /> hazardous waste(IMG 9567-70). The box was not labeled with the following information:the words"Hazardous
<br /> Waste", name and address of generator, hazardous properties, physical state, composition (contents), and
<br /> accumulation start date.
