\"Safety<\/p>\n

Working in a laboratory setting can be incredibly stressful. You handle potentially dangerous chemicals all day, and the minutest switch of a label can cause an unpredictable chemical reaction. This is why you want to be sure that you dispose of your chemical waste in the safest way possible. Keep on reading to learn about some safety tips for handling a lab pack.<\/p>\n

Lift Safely<\/h2>\n

We all know that we\u2019re supposed to lift with our legs, not our backs. But that\u2019s super easy to forget if you don\u2019t regularly carry heavy objects. It may seem like a lab pack isn\u2019t weighty because it\u2019s consists of a collection of small containers. However, that 55-gallon drum alone is a massive contributor to its overall weight. Once you start throwing containers filled with liquids inside of it, it only gets heavier. So, be sure you lift safely. Otherwise, you risk throwing your back out or potentially sustaining an even worse injury.<\/p>\n

Store Safely<\/h2>\n

Store chemicals that are awaiting disposal from laboratory activity in an adequately ventilated space. Block off the area and mark it with a\u00a0\u201cHazardous Waste\u201d sign. You shouldn\u2019t keep any chemical substances on the floor. Additionally, you should document, correctly label,\u00a0and maintain the condition of containers. If you skip any of these steps, you risk seriously injuring everyone in the lab and facing severe fines and penalties for skirting safety regulations. Due to the amount of time that chemicals need to sit to lose their more dangerous qualities, this is one of the best safety tips for handling lab packs to know.<\/p>\n

Hire Third-Party Services<\/h2>\n

The government gives your organization “cradle to grave”\u00a0responsibility for the\u00a0chemical waste it creates. This stands\u00a0even if you pass it off to a\u00a0third party. That\u2019s why choosing the correct specialized\u00a0waste disposal<\/a> service\u00a0provider is vital. Ensure that potential partners comply with all requirements and have the necessary training, experience, qualified chemical specialists, detailed clean-up crews, documentation, and insurance to handle and dispose of your waste. Check references from other business leaders in your area or online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
