A product is NOT considered hazardous waste if it is sold to another industry in which the waste is used in the manufacture of another product.
Several options are available to an employer for establishing the product identifier.
Whatever system is used, the employer must ensure that workers are trained to understand what the label means and are aware of safe handling information. Information used in the waste classification process required by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods legislation could provide a limited amount of information on this option. The employer can contract these requirements to someone else, such as a waste treatment facility or other qualified person. However, the employer is still responsible for ensuring that these requirements are actioned correctly. Please note this bulletin's example of a workplace label for hazardous waste.
