Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste Data Sheet

• LIDS, LABELS, LEAKS LOCATION
• The most commonly cited violations of hazardous
  waste/hazardous materials regulations are open
  containers or lids not screwed-on tight improper
  labels/identification lack of secondary
  containment, and waste storage location. What
  may seem as a relatively minor violation has
  resulted in fines of several thousands of dollars
  per violation. Observing these simple practices
  can keep The University of North Carolina at
  Chapel Hill (UNC) in compliance.
