"I Was Just Cleaning Up . . ."

Most serious laboratory accidents occur when "just cleaning up." Small mistakes in disposal have also resulted in environmental damage and hefty financial consequences — even years afterward. To address this often-overlooked piece of the safety puzzle, the Laboratory Safety Institute developed a one-day professional development course specifically focused on the proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste.

Topics:

Environmental Controls: Laws, Regulations | Hazardous Waste Regulations as They Apply to Laboratories: Waste Determinations, Waste Lists, Waste Characteristics, Proper Handling, Satellite Storage | Other Regulatory Requirements: Personal vs. Institutional Liability, Down the Drain, Non-RCRA Waste | Onsite Handling of Lab Wastes: Storage, Consolidation | Working with Vendors: Vendor Selection, Contracting | Economics | Transportation / Brokers / Packagers | Auditing: Manifest Review | Other issues: Employee Training | Hands-On Practice
