The decisions that are made when dealing with chemical waste affect the person who generated the waste, that person’s institution, and society as a whole. Laboratory personnel who generate waste have an obligation to consider the ultimate fate of the materials resulting from their work. This includes consideration of the cost of disposal, the potential hazards to people outside the laboratory, and the potential impacts on the environ¬ment. There also may be regulatory considerations to take into account [National Research Council, 2010]. Therefore it is recommended that the institution should be taking the measurements regarding laboratory waste management system. Teachers, laboratory assistances and department heads have an obligation to instruct their students in the basic safety practices required in chemical laboratories. They also have an obligation to instruct them in the basic principles of health hazards that are found in chemical laboratories. Instructors must provide safety information and training to the students for every stage of experiment planning and be there to
