OBSERVATION: At the time of inspection, it could not be demonstrated (not necessarily documented) that employees who handle hazardous waste were properly trained, based on the following observations: 1. When asked how the facility cleans up a chemical/product spill in the facility, Christine Novoa, Merchandise Service Coordinator, stated employees use Spill Magic (absorbent) to soak up a liquid spill. When asked how the facility manages the absorbent used to clean up a chemical/product spill, Christine stated that she throws the used absorbent into the trash. When asked when the most recent spill and clean-up in the facility occurred, Christine stated a fragrance was spilled and cleaned up about one month ago. According to the Ulta Beauty Retail Stores Hazardous Waste Training Guide (see photo IMG 8536), found posted above the hazardous waste storage area, absorbent used to clean up a spilled chemical/product is to placed in a bag, labeled with the brand and product description, and placed in the In Store Pending Review Damage bin. However, according to Christine, the facility no longer uses the In Store Pending Review Damage bin, since all damaged product is placed in the hazardous waste containers. 2. A Flammable Liquid & Flammable Solid (FL) Hazardous Waste container, containing waste fragrances, nail polishes, and flammable cosmetics, was missing the generator's complete address on the hazardous waste label (IMG 8502-3). 3. The following waste items were found inside a container labeled as State Managed Waste / Toxic (ST) Hazardous Waste (HW) (IMG 8511-2): - A box containing a Clarisonic Mia Prima Sonic Cleansing Face Brush (IMG 8513). However, when Christine Novoa, Merchandise Service Coordinator, scanned the waste item, the item was identified under the words "Battery Recycling" (IMG 8514). Christine stated the waste item should have been placed in the container designated for batteries, which was found on the floor next to the hazardous waste storage area and labeled as Battery Recycling Kit (IMG 8525-8). Christine stated the battery container was missing the proper label. According to the Ulta Potentially Hazardous Waste Management posters, found posted next to the hazardous waste storage area, waste batteries are to be placed in a container with a Universal Waste label (IMG 8533, 8537). - A box containing a green bottle of Clinique liquid facial soap, a pink bottle of Clinique clarifying lotion, and a yellow bottle of Clinique moisturizing gel (IMG 8516). The box and the pink bottle of Clinique clarifying lotion labeled the clarifying lotion as flammable (IMG 8517-8). When the box was scanned, the hand-held scanner identified the entire box, including the clarifying lotion, as State Managed Waste. Christine stated all three bottles were placed in the ST HW container, based on the information provided by the scanner. 4. The following waste item was found inside a container labeled as ST HW (IMG 8519-20): - An 8 oz metal aerosol can of Kenra Nitro Memory Creme (IMG 8521-3). According to the Ulta Potentially Hazarous Waste Management posters, metal aerosol cans are to be placed in the Flammable Gas Hazardous Waste container. When the aerosol can was scanned, the hand-held scanner did not indicate which hazardous waste container the waste item should be placed in (IMG 8524). Christine stated that items that are not designated a hazardous waste category on the scanner will automatically be placed into a State Managed Waste / Toxic Hazardous Waste container. 5. The following waste item was found in a container labeled Battery Recycling Kit and observed on the floor next to the hazardous waste storage area (IMG 8525-8528): - A 5.39 oz container of Wella Eimi Shape Shift molding gum (IMG 8529-30). However, the hand-held scanner identified the waste item as a corrosive acid (IMG 8531). According to the Ulta Potentially Hazardous Waste Management poster, corrosive acid waste items are to be placed in a Corrosive Acid Hazardous Waste container.
