A printable grid of hazardous-waste labels for halogenated, non-halogenated, aqueous acid, aqueous base and heavy-metal streams (contents lines, pictogram slots, start date, owner) plus a secondary-container label.

What the template shows

• Waste and container labels
• Print, cut and fill in; tick the pictograms that apply to the contents
• ⚠ Always check the supplier SDS; this is an example. Follow your local waste rules and stream colours.

• Contents (full names, no formulae; approx. %):
• Hazards (tick):
• Start date:
• Full date:
• Owner / group:
• Lab / room / phone:
• NON-HALOGENATED SOLVENT WASTE
• e.g. acetone, EtOAc, hexane, MeOH. No oxidisers or conc. acids.
• AQUEOUS ACID WASTE
• pH < 2. No cyanides, sulfides or bases. Never add water to conc. acid.
• AQUEOUS BASE WASTE
• pH > 12. No acids, no ammonium salts with bleach.
• HEAVY METAL WASTE
• Hg, Pb, Cd, Cr(VI), Cu, Ni … list every metal and its form.
• SECONDARY CONTAINER
