15. • 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

16. 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.

17. • 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.

18. 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.
