Potential Hazards/Toxicity

     

     
Respirators should be used only under any of the following circumstances:

• 
  As a last line of defense (i.e., after engineering and administrative controls have been exhausted).
  
• 
  When Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) has exceeded or when there is a possibility that PEL will be exceeded.
  
• 
  Regulations require the use of a respirator.
  
• 
  An employer requires the use of a respirator.
  
• 
  There is potential for harmful exposure due to an atmospheric contaminant (in the absence of PEL)
  
• 
  As PPE in the event of a chemical spill clean-up process
  

Lab personnel intending to use/wear a respirator mask must be trained and fit-tested by VEHS. This is a regulatory requirement. (http://www.safety.vanderbilt.edu/osha/respiratory-protection-standard.php). If you think that you need a respirator to conduct your work safely, contact VEHS at x2-2057 (322-2057) for evaluation of your process.

• 
  Label Waste
  
  • 
    Affix a hazardous waste tag on all waste containers using the (pink) ‘HAZARDOUS WASTE’ tags provided by Vanderbilt Environmental Health and Safety as soon as the first drop of waste is added to the container
    
• 
  Store Waste
  
  • 
    Store hazardous waste in closed containers, in secondary containment, and in a designated location
    
  • 
    Double-bag dry waste using transparent bags.
    
  • 
    Waste must be under the control of the person generating & disposing of it
    
• 
  Dispose of Waste
  
  • 
    Dispose of regularly generated chemical waste within 90 days
    
  • 
    Call VEHS at x2-2057 for questions
    
  • 
    Empty Containers
    
    • 
      An empty container that has held an acute hazardous waste must be triple rinsed using a solvent (which might be water) capable of removing the acute hazardous waste prior to disposal of the container as regular trash. Each rinsing should be performed with an amount of solvent equal to approximately 5 percent of the volume of the container. The rinsate must be collected and disposed of as hazardous waste. The containers should be defaced of any chemical or hazardous waste labels and the cap should be removed prior to disposal as regular trash. Please see the VEHS Environmental Fact Sheet, "Identifying Hazardous Waste in Your Laboratory" for a definition of acute hazardous waste. 
      
  • 
    Submit an online request for the materials to be collected at: http://www.safety.vanderbilt.edu/waste/chemical-waste-collection.php
    
    • 
      Allow at least two business days for the materials to be collected.
