Chemical & Hazardous Waste Safety

(SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & SDG 6: Clean Water)

Proper handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals are essential to preventing hazardous exposure and environmental contamination on campus.

  • GHS Chemical Labeling & SDS: All chemical containers must feature standardized Globally Harmonized System (GHS) hazard labels and have an accessible Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

  • Safe Chemical Storage: Flammables, acids, bases, and oxidizers must be stored in specialized secondary containment cabinets with dedicated ventilation.

  • Fume Hood Operation: Chemical synthesis, solvent handling, and volatile reactions must be performed inside certified biosafety/fume hoods.

  • Hazardous Waste Neutralization: Chemical solvents and toxic liquids must never be poured into standard campus sinks or drains.
