Earlier this month we had a hazardous waste inspection with Riverside County Environmental Health known as a CUPA inspection. This involved 4 days walking around the campus and reviewing hazardous waste across hundreds of spaces. Overall the inspectors were pleased with our lab practices, but we did have corrections to make. The attached flyer has information about the most common findings identified so the entire campus can learn and improve. Please review the flyer and your lab waste collection areas for compliance. If you have questions, ehslaboratory at ucr.edu and ehswaste at ucr.edu are copied here for assistance. Previous 12 Months of Research Safety flyers are available on our website at https://ehs .ucr.edu/laboratory/12monthsofresearchsafety. Subscription to this listserv is based on membership in an active LHAT and is updated monthly.
