Establish and implement a hazardous waste management plan

Rationale: A policy that addresses safe collection, storage, transportation, and disposal of common types of hazardous waste reduces toxic chemical exposure for immediate occupants and those who handle waste throughout the supply chain, which decreases the risk of associated neurological, respiratory, immune, and other disorders.
