See violations#202,403,404,405, and 605. <br /> 2. When asked how the facility's expired pharmaceuticals are managed, Denise stated she did not know, since the <br /> protocol for managing expired pharmaceuticals recently changed. Denise stated that prior to the change in <br /> protocol, expired pharmaceuticals were sent to PS Industries, Inc. via UPS. Denise retrieved a cardboard box from <br /> a high shelf near the entrance door.The cardboard box was open, marked with the words"Expired Drugs,"storing <br /> expired pharmaceutical pills, and was being stored on top of a white container labeled as Hazardous Waste <br /> Expired Rx Waste (IMG 9531-5). The white container was storing a bag of loose pills. Denise stated she was <br /> holding on to the expired pharmaceuticals in the cardboard box because she did not know how they were <br /> supposed to be managed. Denise called Devina Taylor, the overseeing Practice Manager, to find out how expired <br /> pharmaceuticals are to be managed.After speaking to Devina, Denise stated that expired pharmaceuticals are to <br /> be placed in a black container and managed as hazardous waste. When asked how long ago the protocol for <br /> managing expired pharmaceuticals changed, Denise stated she found out about the protocol change in April of <br /> 2019 via an online training.According to the Waste Management Plan, hazardous waste generated by the facility <br /> includes, but is not limited to, expired non-controlled pharmaceuticals and hazardous expired controlled <br /> substances listed on Appendix A(IMG 9548-86). <br /> REGULATION GUIDANCE: The business owner must ensure that all employees are thoroughly familiar with <br /> proper waste handling and emergency procedures, relevant to their responsibilities during normal facility operations <br /> and emergencies. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately train the employees.
