The EPA and NJDEP regulates the waste that is generated at NJHCS. Waste Waste can be classified as either hazardous or biohazardous. Let’s take a closer look at the differences. Hazardous Waste- This is a waste which contains the characteristics of being any of the following: Toxic Corrosive Ignitable Flammable Oxidizer Waste A biohazardous waste is any waste that is considered infectious and/or because of its biological nature it can cause physical or health hazards in humans, animals, plants or the environment. This includes recombinant DNA and other genetically altered organisms and agents. Proper Disposal Waste that is considered biohazardous can not be disposed of in the regular trash even if it has been rendered non-infectious. /ehs/Medical/html/biohazardous.htm Proper Disposal Hazardous waste that consists of sharps and other Regulated Medical Waste must be disposed of through EMS. Hazardous chemicals are handled through the Safety Section and radioactive material should be referred to the Radiation Safety Officer. You have now completed the Lab Safety Training presentation.

Safety Equipment Certain equipment is necessary to achieve compliance and most importantly to provide adequate protection. The safety equipment that is needed is known as primary and secondary barriers. Let’s take a look at the difference in the barriers. Primary Barriers Primary barriers are referring to protective measures including engineering controls. This includes not only PPE that has already been covered, but it also includes safety cabinets, fum
