- All smaller volume waste should be placed in secondary containment and staged on a wheeled cart (if necessary), then placed in an area that has been pre-approved by EH&S.
- All departmental hazardous waste handlers shall not leave hazardous waste unattended.
- For any questions/concerns on any of the above conditions please contact EH&S at x2401 or ehs@csun.edu.
