A typical MSDS is shown in Figure 2.2. All waste shall be stored in a safe and secure area. Never leave waste in a hallway or other unsecured area where it may be subject to public contact. Wastes should be properly segregated. Halogenated materials should be kept separate from non-halogenated and solids separate from liquids.
Generators are responsible for obtaining necessary storage containers.
Containers shall be structurally sound, in good condition, and have a tight fitting cap. Stoppered bottles and plastic milk or soda bottles are not acceptable. A waste generator shall also assure that a container is compatible with the material to be stored. Materials that may generate vapor, such as solvents and other low boiling point materials, should be stored in a properly ventilated area. HWM 4.0 Having Waste Picked Up for Disposal Information must be provided to OEHS to adequately characterize and dispose of the waste, prior to having it picked up.
