Damages/final disposition items must be processed daily and this program must be used to <br /> evaluate anything you need to dispose of at the store level. Follow the "Recognizing Waste" <br /> procedures outlined in the Front Store training course for additional detail. <br /> Once you have determined that a waste item is hazardous, by following the "Identifying <br /> Hazardous Waste" procedures in the Front Store training, place the waste item in its own <br /> self-sealing hazardous waste bag. The hazardous waste bags are specifically designed to <br /> be used as a "container,"while the hazardous waste collection container provides <br /> secondary containment. Bags are also meant to keep different materials separate, <br /> therefore, only one Front Store item may be collected in each bag. This step is critical to <br /> make sure that incompatible items (such as ammonia and bleach) do not mix. Stores may <br /> not use plastic bags from CVS Pharmacy shelves or any other bags for hazardous waste. <br /> To properly manage hazardous waste, follow the steps below: <br /> Step Action <br /> 1 Place the entire waste item, including all packaging, into a self-sealing hazardous waste <br /> bag. Remember: Only one item per bag. <br /> 2 If the item is leaking, follow the"Handling Leaking Hazardous Waste" described in the <br /> Front Store training course. <br /> 3 Close the self-sealing bag completely. <br /> • Double-check seal to be certain the bag is closed. <br /> 4 If the item's label is not legible, write the product name on the outside of the bag with a <br /> black permanent marker. <br /> 6 Place bagged waste item carefully into the appropriate labeled hazardous waste <br /> collection container. Due to chemical properties of the hazardous waste items, <br /> mishandling these items could cause an accident or injury. Place larger, heavier items <br /> at the bottom of the container if possible. <br /> 6 Ensure the"STORE"or"PHARMACY" Hazardous Waste label is placed on the outside <br /> of the hazardous waste collection container. Additional labels may be required <br /> depending on state requirements. Refer to the State Specific Requirements Section of <br /> your EH&S Program Binder. <br /> Environmental 13 <br /> VCVS Pharmacy I Health&Safety <br />
