NEGEIVE <br /> MAY 0 4 2015 <br /> How to Properly Label Hazardous Substances ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> The rule by thumb is just throwing apiece of paper on <br /> something and labeling it "Waste" is never enough. True it <br /> may be obvious, but is the worst mistake to start with. All <br /> waste generated here shall be labeled with the proper <br /> California Hazardous Waste Label. <br /> Many of the labels will be marked redundantly due to how <br /> commonly they are made into waste. Some examples <br /> include our facility name and EPA Number. Both tell the <br /> transporter, destination facility, and Environmental <br /> Protection Agency (EPA) who generated the waste as well as <br /> allow the EPA to monitor and track hazardous waste <br /> activities. <br /> In order for a hazardous material to be classified as a waste, <br /> it must carry an EPA waste code. Waste codes provide more <br /> information regarding the specific hazards associated with <br /> the waste. For more information identifying the proper <br /> waste code, refer to 40 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) <br /> 261 (the next page also shows an example of a Hazardous <br /> Waste Label and what each major section represents). <br />
