REHS RS Solid And Hazardous Waste Practice Test

An REHS receives a call about a hazardous 55 gallon container...what should be done first?

Read info off label Call supervisor Move the container Dispose of it

Correct Answer:

Read info off label

Explanation:

Identify the hazard by reading the container label. The label tells you what the chemical is, what dangers it poses, and the required precautions and spill-response steps. Knowing the exact contents guides safe handling, appropriate PPE, and whether containment or isolation is needed. Moving or disposing of the container without this information can trigger a dangerous reaction or exposure. Calling a supervisor is important, but after you’ve identified the material from the label; if the label is unreadable, then consult the SDS or supervisor for the proper guidance.
