Staff & Contacts List
Your workspace should always be ready for an inspection. The most important thing you can do to be prepared for an inspection is to keep your lab, shop, clinic, or other workspace clean, organized, and up to University of Washington standards.
The most common violations found during hazardous waste inspections are open containers and incomplete labels.
When it rains on campus, the rainwater runs into a network of storm drains that lead directly into local bodies of water.
All items that enter the the sewer system (e.g. poured down a drain or flushed down a toilet) must comply with local, state and federal wastewater rules, regulations, and standards. These rules are designed to protect local waterways and maintain the quality of biosolids at wastewater treatment plants.
