Chemical and Waste Storage and Handling
- Chemical waste should be brought down to WB16 in a properly labeled storage container. Labels are available from the Purchasing/Stores Coordinator in WB16. No chemical waste will be accepted without a proper label. No waste should be put into the waste storage area without authorization from the Purchasing/Stores Coordinator.
- All incoming shipments of chemicals and hazardous materials will be recorded into a data base (future H&S inventory system) and an on-line Departmental inventory of all chemical and hazardous materials (entering/leaving inventory) will be maintained.
- Compliance with regulations regarding storage and usage of certain chemicals, solvents, etc., including logging and recording usage if required will be ensured.
- Please refer to the University's Laboratory Waste Management and Disposal Manual (University of Toronto Laboratory Waste Management and Disposal Manual) for further information on disposal of biological waste, radioactive waste, sharps, etc
