Waste Manifests
The MOE requires that the disposal of all hazardous waste be manifested for tracking purposes and to ensure proper disposal.
The carrier of the hazardous waste will provide a manifest (sipping document) at the time of pick-up, manifest’s must be completed and routed as follows:
- The University representative completes and signs Part A of the manifest
- Manifest’s can only be signed by a University employee who has received current Transportation of Dangerous Goods training.
- The carrier completes Part B of the manifest.
- The consignor (department) separates the manifest and mails copy 1 (white) to the MOE as directed on the back of the manifest and copy 2 (green) to the Manager, Laboratory and Academic Program Safety.
- The carrier takes copies 3, 4, 5 and 6 with the shipment.
- The receiver sends copy 6 (brown) to the Manager, Laboratory and Academic Program Safety after the shipment has been received.
If the department receives copy 6, it must be forwarded to the Manager, Laboratory and Academic Program Safety. Copy 2 and copy 6 are retained on file by Environmental Health and Safety for Ministry of Environment (MOE) audit.
