    Safety Moments
    Topic: Handling Waste

    A Safety Moment is a brief safety talk about a specific subject at the beginning of a meeting or
    shift. Also known as safety minutes or safety chats, these talks can be done in a variety of ways,
    but are typically a brief (2-5 minute) discussion on a safety related topic. They can cover a variety
    of safety topics and remind employees of the importance of being safe; at work, at home and in all
    aspects of our lives.

    Use one slide per Safety Moment (unless specified).

    Waste determinations
     The best time to think about waste disposal is BEFORE
    you start the experiment*. Some questions to ask yourself
    during the planning process:
     What wastes will I generate and what are their characteristics?
     How will I store the wastes after they are generated and prior to
    disposal?
     Where will you store the wastes?
     How long will you store the waste?
     How will you get rid of the wastes? (hazardous or non?)

     Additional information on waste handling, storage and disposal can be


    received through proper training:
    http://www.ehs.ufl.edu/programs/chemrad_waste/hazardous-waste-
    training/

     *document your waste collection and disposal procedures in

    Liquid hazardous waste


     General Rules for Managing Liquid Hazardous Wastes
     Containers must be closed at all times except when physically adding waste
     Containers must be labelled with all chemical constituents (and their approximate
    % by volume), including water
     Segregate liquid waste from solid wastes
     Store small (<1 gal) containers in a secondary containment (tray or tub)
     Glass bottles on the floor must be stored in a secondary containment (tray or tub)
     Leave adequate headspace in liquid containers (~1” is sufficient for a 4L container;
    leave more or less depending on the size of your waste container)
     Accumulate any Mercury-containing liquids or compounds in their own container
     4-liter glass bottles, 10- and 20-liter plastic carboys, and 20-liter metal cans are
    available at no charge from EH&S by calling 392-8400

    Flammable Liquids and Solvent Wastes

     Segregate from oxidizers within SAA (separate secondary


    containment)
     Do not mix halogenated solvent waste with non-halogenated
    waste
     For small quantities (<5 gallons), accumulate in glass bottles
     For larger quantities (>5 gallons), accumulate in metal cans
     Ensure installed grounding straps are attached when pouring into
    waste containers
     Ensure area free of heat or open flame

    Corrosive Liquid Wastes

     Segregate acidic wastes from alkaline wastes within SAA (separate


    secondary containment)
     For small quantities (<5 gallons), accumulate in glass bottles
     For larger quantities (>5 gallons), accumulate in plastic carboys
     Never accumulate corrosive liquids in a metal container
     Always accumulate hydrofluoric acid (“HF”) in a plastic
    container; NEVER USE GLASS FOR HYDROFLUORIC ACID

    Solid hazardous waste


     General Rules for Managing Solid Hazardous Wastes
     Containers must be closed at all times except when physically adding waste
     Containers must be labelled with all chemical constituents or contaminants
     Segregate liquid waste from solid waste
     Do not dispose of liquid-containing vials in the same container as solid waste
     Identify all chemical hazards on hazardous waste labels
     Accumulate any mercury-containing compounds or mercury- contaminated
    solid wastes in a separate container
     Do not dispose of clean lab ware or broken glass as a solid hazardous waste
     5-gallon plastic buckets and 30-gallon fiberboard drums(with plastic liner) for
    solid waste accumulation are available from EH&S by calling 392-8400

    Clean glassware policy (slide 1 of 2)


     These laboratory items may be disposed of as “Clean Lab Ware,” provided that
    the item is clean and is not contaminated with hazardous chemicals,
    radiological materials, or biohazardous materials.
     Lab glassware (empty bottles, beakers, graduated cylinders, flasks, pipettes, etc.)
     Lab plastic wares (empty product containers, petri dishes, pipette tips, weighing boats,
    etc.)
     Empty vials (including conical tubes, test tubes, centrifuge tubes, etc.)
     Clean, uncontaminated gloves
     Sharp materials, such as glass slides, broken glassware, pipettes, etc. but DOES NOT
    INCLUDE METAL NEEDLES, SCALPELS, OR RAZOR BLADES

    Clean glassware policy (slide 2 of 2)


     The following items are not permitted to be disposed of in the lab’s Clean
    Lab Ware box.
     Any item contaminated with a hazardous chemical, radiological, or biohazardous
    material
     Needles, scalpels, razor blades (must be disposed of in a rigid plastic outer
    container)
     Any item marked with a Biohazard symbol
     Red bags (reserved solely for biohazardous wastes)
     Used tissue cultures
     Labs are directed to line a cardboard box with a plastic garbage bag and label the
    outside of the box “Clean Lab Ware.” Once full, lab workers should seal the box
    using tape and dispose of the box as follows:
     Labs not in the Health Science Center: deliver the closed and sealed box to the
    building’s dumpster.
