At least once a week, small quantity generators (SQGs) and large quantity generators (LQGs) must inspect container storage areas visually for leaking and deteriorating containers — and this is a best management practice for very small quantity generators (VSQGs) as well. LQGs have the additional requirement of documenting these weekly inspections, which is also a best management practice for smaller generators.
This checklist will help you ensure that you are performing (and documenting) thorough weekly inspections of your hazardous waste accumulation area(s) and containers to remain in compliance.
