Where should the hazardous waste manifest be kept?

The hazardous waste manifest must be kept tabbed differently and on top of all other paperwork to ensure it is easily accessible and conspicuous during transportation. This is crucial for several reasons: in the event of an inspection by regulatory agencies, the manifest must be readily available to demonstrate compliance with hazardous waste regulations. Having it clearly marked and positioned at the top minimizes the time and effort required to locate it, which can be vital during emergencies or DOT inspections.

This practice reflects legal requirements and industry best practices, emphasizing the importance of proper documentation in hazardous material transport. Properly managing the manifest helps maintain accountability and traceability, ensuring that all hazardous material is properly documented and handled according to regulations.
