EHS Assistant

EHS Assistant is a new program used to facilitate USU’s Environmental Health and Safety programs. It is designed to streamline the process of signing up for trainings, submitting requests, etc.

Mandatory Hazardous Material Pickup Changes

Utah State University has made some changes to Hazardous Waste pickups. We have changed to the EPA’s RCRA Sub Part K. These regulations were created to address the specific needs of hazardous waste handling at Colleges and Universities. Hazardous Waste will now be named “Unwanted Materials”. Most changes associated with sub-part K will happen behind the scenes but, rest assured that all “Unwanted Material” will still be handled and disposed of in the same environmentally safe and prudent manner as it has always been.

With this switch to sub-part K, comes some changes to the pickup request web site. Once you submit your request for a pick-up of “unwanted material”, you will be taken to a page where you can print the “Unwanted Material” labels. You MUST print the Unwanted Materials Label and attach it to the Unwanted Materials container. The EHS office is unable to pick up items without the proper label attached to them. If you have multiple containers of the same item with small containers, you can place them in an outer disposable box and attach just 1 label to the box. The Old labels are no longer required. If you generate Unwanted Materials that accumulate over several days, or more, please contact us and we can provide labels for those situations.

You will then be taken to the label page. Print the label(s), cut them to size, tape them to the corresponding container.

Please Take a few minutes and read through the new Lab Procedures Manual.
