The Problem

Do you manage a warehouse, laboratory, hospital, school, medical facility, factory, or operation that uses small containers (usually less than 10 gallons each) of chemicals including:
  • Solvents
  • Reagents
  • Paints
  • Thinners
  • Dyes
  • Inks
  • Acids
  • Bases
  • Cleaners
  • Strippers
  • Pool Chemicals
  • Dry Cleaning Compounds
  • Or Other Hazardous Chemicals
Over time, you will find that bottles, jars, cans and various containers have accumulated that are out-of-date, contaminated, partially used, leaking, or simply no longer needed.

Why Is This A Problem?

Some chemicals, like picric acid (commonly used in medical and public schools chemistry laboratories) become explosive as they age, and can explode just from the friction of opening the lid. Other chemicals, like solvents such as Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Xylene, Ether and Toluene are extremely flammable and create a potential fire hazard while in storage.


Additionally these chemicals may become hazardous wastes after you have used them. Chromic acid-cleaning solutions, used or unused, aerosol cans of paint, cleaners and degreasers may also be classified as hazardous wastes and must be disposed of properly.



And with the new Globally Harmonized System (GHS) requirements here it is very important to dispose of all your unused, unwanted, and unnecessary chemicals so you don't have to update, categorize, maintain them and find SDS's for them in the new GHS program.

The Repeat Offenders: OSHA’s Most Common Citations and How to Avoid Them

By Derek Jennings • September 24, 2025
Every year, OSHA releases its list of the most frequently cited workplace safety standards. While the names change little from year to year, the numbers tell a story: employers continue to struggle with the same hazards—falls, hazardous chemicals, and machine safety. Understanding these violations is the first step in preventing costly citations and protecting workers.
