All hazardous waste matters are handled within the Department by the Coordinator of Hazardous Materials and Chemical Waste. The University maintains a chemical and hazardous waste storage facility. This facility has been approved by DEM. |
|
The Department personnel (Director, Coordinator of Hazardous Materials and Chemical Waste and Chemical Hygienists) pick up chemicals and waste as requested by the various users and transport it to the storage facility. A contract or under a blanket order repackages the material into lab packs and transports the waste off campus. This shipping process meets EPA requirements and is monitored by the staff through the Manifest System. |
|
Now included under hazardous waste is all biomedical waste and pathological waste that is picked up and packaged by Department personnel. This waste is shipped on a bi-weekly basis to an approved facility. All material is manifested in accordance with the applicable code/regulation. |

They are also available in the chemical inventory system. The MSDS can be brought up on the screen and printed as needed. |
