Chemical Safety
  • Empty & Chemical Waste Containers
    Empty containers may have to be managed as hazardous waste depending on several factors. The Facilities Department can assist you in disposal instructions.
  • Definition of a Hazardous Chemical Waste
    Hazardous waste is defined as a substance that poses a hazard to human health or the environment when improperly managed.
  • Lab Cleanouts
    Laboratory cleanouts involve the removal of excess amounts of chemicals from laboratories. Since this can often involve many containers, tagging individual containers may not be feasible.
  • Responsibilities of Hazardous Waste Generators (CESQGs)
    Each laboratory person handling hazardous chemicals is responsible for the proper accumulation and management of waste in the laboratory.
  • Segregation of Incompatible Chemicals
    All hazardous materials should be stored and transported to prevent spills and uncontrolled reactions. Segregate chemicals by hazard class.
  • Facilities Chemical Waste
    LSC Facilities Department has different types of hazardous wastes than laboratories on campus. This department will follow a different set of guidelines for waste disposal.
