Hazardous Waste Management January 25, 2016 Laboratory Use Orientation and Safety Seminar
Context Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990 (RA 6969) It has been recognized that the public and the environment are at risk in the use or exposure to chemicals as well as the long term damage brought about by careless handling or disposal of hazardous wastes harvardmodelcongress.org
Context DChE Laboratory is an EMB-registered HazWaste Generator DChE Lab-WMS approved in August 2011 harvardmodelcongress.org
Hazardous Waste Management Anticipate Minimize Contain Label Dispose
Anticipate Your Waste
Waste Classification Non-hazardous waste Solids Sharp solids (e.g. broken glass) Non-sharp solids Office waste (e.g. paper) Liquids 6
Waste Classification Hazardous waste waste that exhibits one or more of the following characteristics 7
Waste Management Plan Must be submitted BEFORE being allowed to work in the laboratory Expected wastes to be generated and corresponding amounts Type of waste container to be used Inform adviser/labcom of any changes in WMP in cases of unexpected developments on the course of experimentation 8

Minimize
Why minimize waste? Reduce costs Increase process efficiency and productivity Reduce present and future regulatory burdens Improve workplace safety Improve environmental quality Maintain or improve institutional image
How can you minimize waste? Plan ahead Order only the amount needed Avoid storing excess chemicals Share unneeded chemicals Keep chemicals properly labeled
Instructional Laboratory Reagents to be used in the experiments are to be prepared by the instructors. Chemical wastes generated during experiments are to placed in designated containers located in the instructional laboratories. Enter amount/concentration of waste in the waste logbook provided by the instructor. Call the attention of your instructor if there are any unused chemicals left after experiment 17
Contain 18
Waste Containers Material must be compatible with waste Examples: Acids and bases: do NOT store in metal Hydrofluoric acid: do NOT store in glass Gasoline/solvents: do NOT store in lightweight polyethylene containers Do NOT completely fill container; allow some space above (~10%) Secondary containment 19
Waste Storage Do NOT place waste containers on: Floor Fume hood Sink Always ensure that containers are capped properly at all times Place incompatible chemical wastes as far apart from each other as possible 20
