What this lesson covers

In this lesson, you'll learn to: manage batteries and lamps so nothing is released, follow the rules for mercury equipment and ampule removal, apply the correct label phrases, and state the one-year limit and how to prove it. A small quantity handler must manage universal waste so nothing is released to the environment. Leaking or damaged batteries go in a closed, structurally sound, compatible container.
