[EHSResearchers] EH&S 12 Months of Research Safety - Hazardous Waste Storage

[Patrick Monnig]

Hello UCR Researchers,

Hope everyone is having a great start to the fall quarter, and welcome to
all new researchers on campus!

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.

Thanks,
Patrick Monnig
