<br />CCR 66265.174 Failed to inspect hazardous waste storage areas at least weekly.
<br />OBSERVATION: At the time of inspection, it could not be demonstrated that weekly inspections of the hazardous
<br />waste containers are being conducted, based on the following observations:
<br />1. Completed weekly Hazardous Waste Storage Inspection forms could not be found at the time of inspection.
<br />According to the Banfield Pet Hospital Waste Management Plan, completed weekly hazardous waste storage
<br />inspection forms are to be maintained in the Waste Management Binder for minimum of three years (see photo
<br />IMG 9576).
<br />2. According to the Waste Management Plan, missing or incomplete hazardous waste labels are to be corrected
<br />immediately and containers with missing or open lids are to be replaced immediately, during the weekly hazardous
<br />waste storage inspections (IMG 9576). The following containers were observed with incomplete labeling:
<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 />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) An open cardboard box, marked with the words "Expired Drugs," and storing expired pharmaceuticals,
<br />according to Denise, was observed near the facility entrance door, on a high shelf, and directly on top of the white
<br />container labeled as Hazardous Waste Expired Rx Waste. Denise retrieved the cardboard box from the shelf for
<br />further observation (IMG 9531). According to the Waste Management Plan, expired non -controlled
<br />pharmaceuticals, and hazardous expired controlled pharmaceuticals (included on the list in Appendix A), are to be
<br />managed as hazardous waste (IMG 9567-70). The box was not labeled with the following information: the words
<br />"Hazardous Waste", name and address of generator, hazardous properties, physical state, composition (contents),
