- Decontaminating work surfaces,
- Organizing glassware, samples, chemicals within individual spaces,
- Inventorying and organizing chemicals into proper storage spaces,
- Disposing of old, unwanted, or unused chemicals or samples (Legacy Chemicals and Unknowns),
- Disposing and decommissioning of old, unwanted, or broken equipment.
When looking at chemicals to keep, consider these questions:
- Is it likely to be used again?
- How long will the chemical last?
- How hazardous is it?
- Will it generate any new hazards over time?
- How much did it cost?
