What is Lab Packing?

Lab packing is the process in which chemicals are placed into a DOT approved container and transported to a permitted waste disposal facility. Because many of these substances are hazardous and even more dangerous when accumulated with other chemicals, it is important that only an individual who has expertise in lab packing operations performs them. A trained lab packing technician will have knowledge of how to handle and segregate chemical substances in a way that is safe and regulation compliant.
