Hazardous Waste Containers

Hello All,

Has any had issues with the Joint Commission citing hazardous waste containers as being not secure? (because someone can put their hand into the container) They do not contain controlled substances. We are in the process of switching to Steri-cycle. Also looking into where to keep the containers? Currently in locked Med room. Is anyone storing anywhere else?

Thanks,
Olga Woloszczuk
