When not in use, does the facility store paints in labeled containers?
When not in use, the automotive shop must ensure that paints are properly contained and labeled. The containers must be closed with tight-fitting lids, and stored so that a spill would not reach a drain or otherwise leave the facility. Container labels must indicate contents. Yes–Facility contains and labels paints as described above. √ No–Facility does not contain and/or label paints as described above. N/A–Facility does not store paints. How does the facility manage used paints and paint waste? The automotive paint/collision shop should not bury or discard waste paint cans, residuals, or unused paint products on-site. Organic solvent-based paints and residuals may be hazardous wastes and require manifesting, storage, transportation, and disposal in full compliance with hazardous waste regulations. Aerosol cans that are empty and depressurized (i.e., all propellant is discharged) may be classified as nonhazardous solid waste for off-site disposal. Reuse–Facility gives away leftove
