Hazardous waste handling standardized with clear roles
A federal accredited laboratory standardized hazardous waste handling and clarified roles through a Green Belt project coached by LEA.
The problem
Handling and pick-up preparation of chemically hazardous laboratory waste followed an unclear process that varied across analysts.
The approach
LEA coached a Green Belt project that applied waste elimination, standard work and 5S within the laboratory's ISO/IEC 17025 quality system.
The result
The hazardous waste process was standardized with clear roles for analysts and officers, the chemical waste storage room was reorganized through 5S, and laboratory staff earned Green Belt certification.
