Improper handling or staorage of hazardous materials can result in costly disposal, damaged equipment, injury or even death. It is prudent practive to identify what chemicals are being used/stored, where they are being stored and how long they have been stored. It is also important that laboratory personnel are educated regarding the nature and potential hazards of all chemicals that they work with including proper handling and disposal procedures.
