Utah Admin. Code R315-262-206 - Alternative Requirements for Hazardous Waste Determination and Accumulation of Unwanted Material for Laboratories Owned by Eligible Academic Entities - Labeling and Management Standards for Containers of Unwanted Material in the Laboratory
An eligible academic entity shall manage containers of unwanted material while in the laboratory in accordance with the requirements in Section R315-262-206.
(a) Labeling:
Label unwanted material as follows:
(1) The
following information shall be affixed or attached to the container:
(i) The words "unwanted material" or another
equally effective term that is to be used consistently by the eligible academic
entity and that is identified in Part I of the Laboratory Management Plan,
and
(ii) Sufficient information to
alert emergency responders to the contents of the container. Examples of
information that would be sufficient to alert emergency responders to the
contents of the container include, but are not limited to:
(A) The name of the chemical(s),
(B) The type or class of chemical, such as
organic solvents or halogenated organic solvents.
(2) The following information may
be affixed or attached to the container, but shall at a minimum be associated
with the container:
(i) The date that the
unwanted material first began accumulating in the container, and
(ii) Information sufficient to allow a
trained professional to properly identify whether an unwanted material is a
solid and hazardous waste and to assign the proper hazardous waste code(s),
pursuant to Section
R315-262-11.
Examples of information that would allow a trained professional to properly
identify whether an unwanted material is a solid or hazardous waste include,
but are not limited to:
(A) The name and/or
description of the chemical contents or composition of the unwanted material,
or, if known, the product of the chemical reaction,
(B) Whether the unwanted material has been
used or is unused,
(C) A
description of the manner in which the chemical was produced or processed, if
applicable.
(b) Management of Containers in the
Laboratory. An eligible academic entity shall properly manage containers of
unwanted material in the laboratory to assure safe storage of the unwanted
material, to prevent leaks, spills, emissions to the air, adverse chemical
reactions, and dangerous situations that may result in harm to human health or
the environment. Proper container management shall include the following:
(1) Containers are maintained and kept in
good condition and damaged containers are replaced, overpacked, or repaired,
and
(2) Containers are compatible
with their contents to avoid reactions between the contents and the container;
and are made of, or lined with, material that is compatible with the unwanted
material so that the container's integrity is not impaired, and
(3) Containers shall be kept closed at all
times, except:
(i) When adding, removing or
bulking unwanted material, or
(ii)
A working container may be open until the end of the procedure or work shift,
or until it is full, whichever comes first, at which time the working container
shall either be closed or the contents emptied into a separate container that
is then closed, or
(iii) When
venting of a container is necessary:
(A) For
the proper operation of laboratory equipment, such as with in-line collection
of unwanted materials from high performance liquid chromatographs; or
(B) To prevent dangerous situations, such as
build-up of extreme pressure.
