Controlled Waste Storage
4-3.8.1 This space is provided for storage of waste materials or items for
environmental protection, while awaiting recycling or other disposal. Due to the nature
of the contents, it will have exterior access only, and CMU wall to structure or a concrete
ceiling.
4-3.8.2 The room should have a depressed well under a metal grate floor for
collection of any spills. The well should be sloped to allow convenient suction of spills at
a low point: no drain. The well should be capable of containing 150% of the stored
materials; verify likely amount of stored materials with Tenants.
4-3.8.3 Some steel shelving is typically provided, with some floor area left open for
larger containers.
4-.3.8.4 \ OSHA requires emergency eyewash and showers where an employee s
eyes or body could be exposed to injurious corrosive materials. For that reason, this
space is typically located with ready access to an emergency eyewash and shower unit
in the maintenance bay. Where ready access to an emergency eyewash and shower is
not available, a unit should be installed. The requirement can be waived, where the
Building Owner thoroughly documents that no injurious corrosive materials will be stored
in this space./2/
