Every day K-12 schools, colleges, and universities generate a variety of hazardous materials. This ranges from expired science lab chemicals and radioactive isotopes to oil-based paints and hazardous cleaning products. Without proper management, these substances pose serious safety risks to students, faculty, and staff. However improper handling also has the potential to expose your institution to regulatory fines and liability.
Educational institutions must comply with EPA, OSHA, as well as state-specific and local hazardous waste regulations. These regulations cover all phases of the hazardous waste management process, from how they are stored and transported, to their final disposal.
For busy school administrators and maintenance managers, there’s often little time left to navigate these complex compliance requirements, especially while managing budgets, internal safety protocols, and multiple campus locations.
