Everyone
who generates hazardous waste must:
-
Be sure
the waste is properly identified, i.e. you know what it is.
Regulations prohibit the transportation and disposal of unknown materials.
-
Be sure
the waste is properly labeled - including DHEC required language and
contents. Preprinted labels are available from EHS.
-
Be sure
that the waste container is closed when waste is not being added.
-
Be sure
that the waste is properly stored.
-
Notify
EHS - via a collection request - that waste needs to be removed from
the satellite accumulation point.
These are
things that only those generating the waste can do.
