12.2.3 Policy waste disposal - hazardous materials(2023)
MCUT has formed the “Safety, Health and Toxicity and Chemical Substances of Concern Management Committee” to manage laboratory waste and toxic chemicals; and set up the “Campus Hazardous Waste Management System” and the “Regulations for Laboratory Management” to properly control the operation status and waste quantity. Campus hazardous waste mainly comes from laboratory waste liquids, classified according to their characteristics into acids, alkalis, non-hazardous mixed waste liquids, halogen-containing organic waste chemicals, and non-halogen-containing organic waste chemicals. Waste liquids are stored in the temporary storage site, equipped with storage cabinets, gas detection systems, and explosion-proof exhaust equipment. MCUT’s laboratory waste liquids are temporarily stored and entrusted to a qualified removal operator to be transported to Cheng Kung University for proper disposal.
