Hazardous Waste Labeling
UCSC is transitioning from OTP to the WASTe application.
New features in WASTe
- Tag creation for chemical, radiological and universal waste
- Profiles for waste streams can be shared
- Email EH&S staff directly about specific tags or containers
Accessing the System
- The Responsible Party or Proxy will need to add you to their waste generator account.
- In Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox go to https://ehs.ucop.edu/waste/
- Login with your Cruz ID (your UCSC email) and gold password
- Update your user information such as storage locations and authorized users
- Start creating tags
There are three roles in WASTe
- Responsible Party (RP) - the PI or facility manager
- Proxy - the person the Responsible Party (RP) designates to control the application for them
- Authorized user - everyone else in the lab or facility that may generate tags
