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.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
