Corrective actions:

Appropriately dispose of biohazard waste before 90 days of accumulation. Utilize the method approved by EHS before disposal (autoclave or chemical disinfection).  

Write start date of a chemical container in the waste tag and request pick up by EHS before 90 days of first use. To request pick up fill out a Hazardous Waste Pickup request on the EHS Safety Portal.
