Required Postings

Chemical waste at MSU is managed under the EPA’s Satellite Accumulation Area (SAA) regulations.  One of the requirements for a SAA is to have a Quick Reference Guide for Hazardous Waste to aid with emergency preparedness and waste storage requirements.  EHS has posted these in each known location generating waste.  If yours is missing or damaged, please contact the EHS Hazardous Waste staff at hazwaste@msu.edu to request a replacement.  It must be displayed on the inside of the entry door to the space, or as close to the entry door as possible.

“Quick Reference Guide” (Required on Door)

Hazardous Waste Lab Safety Poster

The bottom portion of the guide depicting container storage requirements can be printed from the Waste Section of the EHS website and placed near hazardous waste storage locations as needed.  

 ** Existing “Elements of Proper Hazardous Waste Storage” on website**

 Additional postings for emergency preparedness are required to be inside the entry doors for the following off-site MSU locations: Grand Rapids Research Center, Kellogg Biological Station, and Midland-St. Andrews.  EHS has posted these in each known location generating waste at those sites.  If yours is missing or damaged, please contact EHS Hazardous Waste staff at hazwaste@msu.edu to request a replacement.
