QUARTER 2: WEEK 18

LO 4. CLEAN UP ON COMPLETION OF WORK


TLE-AFAC9HC-IIf-j-4

Proper waste disposal begins with good waste management by the


researcher, including minimum waste generation, reusing surplus materials,
and recycling of appropriate (i.e., uncontaminated) waste. The generated waste
must be properly collected and stored, paying close attention to labeling,
segregating according to chemical compatibility, and accumulating in a well-
ventilated location. This location should be well labeled. Other laboratory waste
items such as sharps and glass must also be disposed of with care in
appropriately labeled and compatible containers

Objective

4.1. Return materials to store or dispose of according to company


standard procedures

Vocabulary lists

Satellite accumulation area- hazardous waste areas at your facility.

Incineration- serves in waste management as a way to treat waste


through controlled burning.

Pre -Assessment

A. Read the questions carefully and select the best answer by writing
only the letter of your choice on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Chemical waste must be stored in compatible containers with closed and


properly __________.
` A. tight plastic
B. fitted caps
C. lost cap
D. corrugated cap

61
2. Waste containers should be stored in secondary containers in a _____.
A. wet, cool, and dry area.
B. watery, cool, and dry area.
C. ventilated, cool, and dry area.
D.soft, cool, and dry area.

3. ____________must never be disposed of in a laboratory waste bin or a general


waste container

A. Syringes or plastics
B. Syringes or tins
C. Syringes or metal
D. Syringes or needles
4. Clean empty glass bottles and broken glassware may be recycled. To clean
an empty glass bottle, it must be "_______" with water or another suitable
solvent and air-dried before disposal.

A. "triple rinsed"
B. "double rinsed"
C. "single rinsed"
D. "never rinsed"
5. _____________ is friendly to the environment as it reduces pollution caused
by the waste ending up in landfill sites

C. Disposing glass
D. Recycling glass

B. Enumerate the procedure for waste collection and storage

WASTE MANAGEMENT

https://www.amazon.com/Go-Green-Waste-Management-Books/dp/9352762118

Procedure

1. Users should make an effort to keep waste to a minimum. The best way
to do so is by reducing the scale of operation, which minimizes the
quantity of waste generated. Whenever possible, chemicals used should
be substituted with less hazardous chemicals
2. Chemical quantities should be kept to a minimum. Store only what will
be used in the near term
3. Besides preventing or minimizing waste generation, chemicals should be
recycled or recovered for reuse
4. When waste is generated, it must be disposed of properly. Sink disposal
may not always be appropriate and may end contaminating drinking
water. Alternative methods of disposal should be considered including
incineration, treatment, and land disposal.

Waste collection and storage

1. When generating or managing any chemical waste, appropriate personal


protective equipment (PPE) must be worn, and engineering controls should
be implemented as necessary.

63
2. Collect and store chemical waste at or near the point of generation in a
designated satellite accumulation area. This accumulation area should be
well marked for easy identification
3. Chemical waste must be stored in compatible containers with closed and
properly fitted caps
4. Waste containers must be labeled mentioning chemical compositions, the
accumulation start date, and hazard warnings as appropriate. The
institute's EHS office typically provides these required labels.
5. Incompatible waste types should not be mixed and should be kept separate
in order to avoid any reaction, heat generation, and/or gas evolution.
6. Waste containers should be stored in secondary containers in a ventilated,
cool, and dry area.
7. In the central accumulation area, waste containers should be grounded to
avoid fire and explosion hazards
8. Trained laboratory researchers who are most familiar with the waste
generated should work with EHS to ensure proper waste management

Sharps Disposal - Syringes and Needles

1. Chemically contaminated needles, syringes, and razor blades should be


disposed of inside a proper sharps container
2. Syringes or needles must never be disposed of in a laboratory waste bin
or a general waste container

Glass Recycling

1.Recycling glass is friendly to the environment as it reduces pollution


caused by the waste ending up in landfill sites. Every laboratory should have a
separate recycling bin dedicated to glass.

2. Clean empty glass bottles and broken glassware may be recycled. To


clean an empty glass bottle, it must be "triple rinsed" with water or another
suitable solvent and air-dried before disposal

3.Chemically contaminated laboratory glassware such as sample tubes,


droppers, and glass wool must be disposed of as controlled waste
