• Knowing the type of chemical waste product.

• Follow the safety procedure to deal with laboratory

waste.

• Let the professional person handle the laboratory waste.

• Dispose the laboratory waste at the right place as

instructed

Yes.In order to improved quality standardsof laboratory

waste,Malaysia has adopted adherence to the standarts

of Good Laboratory Practices(GLP) as a pre-requisite

requirement for all laboratories,both in public and private

sectors nationally to meet the international regulatory

government.

• Government and Associations /Societies /Boards/

Councils that also responsible for Laboratory Wastes

work together to find the solution to sustain the most

effective management of laboratory waste.

• Both universities,public and private nationally must

have good management of laboratory wastes.

• Students must follow the rules and Standards

Operating Procedures(S.O.P) especially in laboratory.

Yes.Because works range of Occupational Safety &

Health(OSH) also include way to handling the waste

laboratory management especially chemical hazardous

waste in industries so that even small accident can be

prevented.
