    If you are unsure if a spill contains a hazardous waste, it is important to ask a manager for guidance. Managers are usually responsible for overseeing safety protocols and can provide the necessary information and instructions on how to handle the spill.

    When does potentially hazardous material become a hazardous waste? 

    • When an item is crushed / damaged

    • When an item is missing a nozzle

    • When an item is about to leak

    • When an item has a missing/broken cap

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Potentially hazardous material becomes a hazardous waste when any of the mentioned conditions are met. When an item is crushed or damaged, there is a possibility of the hazardous material leaking or being exposed, making it hazardous waste. Similarly, if an item is missing a nozzle, it can lead to the release of hazardous substances. Additionally, when an item is about to leak or has a missing/broken cap, it poses a risk of contamination and becomes hazardous waste. Therefore, all of the above conditions indicate when potentially hazardous material becomes hazardous waste.

Double bagging provides an extra layer of protection and helps contain the hazardous materials, reducing the risk of spills or leaks during transportation or disposal. This practice ensures the safety of individuals handling the waste and minimizes the potential harm to the surroundings.
