What must facilities do under GEMD regarding hazardous materials?

Under GEMD, facilities are required to implement proper storage and disposal procedures for hazardous materials to minimize risks. This approach is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with environmental regulations. Proper storage includes using appropriate containers, labeling, and organizing materials in a way that prevents contamination or accidents. Disposal procedures involve safely eliminating hazardous waste according to local, state, and federal guidelines, which helps protect the environment and public health. By adhering to these procedures, facilities can significantly reduce the likelihood of hazardous incidents, ensuring a safer workplace and community. Other responsibilities related to staffing and marketing do not directly address the critical needs associated with hazardous materials management.
