Once the retention period has elapsed, Hot victory will ensure that any Disclosure information is immediately suitably destroyed by secure means, for example by shredding, pulping or burning. While awaiting destruction, Disclosure information will not be kept in any insecure receptacle. However, not withstanding the above, we may keep a recording of the date of issue of a Disclosure, the name of the subject, the type of Disclosure requested, the position for which the Disclosure was requested, the unique reference number of the disclosure and the details of the recruitment decision taken. Disclosure information is never kept on an applicant’s personnel file and is always kept separately and securely, in lockable, non-portable, storage containers with access strictly controlled and limited to those who are entitled to see it as part of their duties.
Storage Handling
We maintain a record of all those to whom Disclosures or Disclosure information has been revealed and we recognize that it is a criminal offence to pass this information to anyone who is not entitled to receive it.
Natural Gas and chemical storage
When dealing with equipment that use natural gas, such as Bunsen burners, make sure that the valves are turned off completely when you are done. Always double check before leaving a room. If you smell the gas, you must investigate the source immediately.

FLAMMABLES (Acetone, ethanol, glacial acetic acid): store in grounded flammable liquid storage cabinet and separate from oxidizing materials
NON-FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS (Carbon tetrachloride, ethylene glycol, mineral oil): store in cabinet, can be stored with flammable liquids and separate from oxidizing materials
ACIDS (Nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid): store in cabinet of non-combustible material, separate oxidizing acids from organic acids and separate from caustics, cyanides, sulfides
CAUSTICS (Ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide):store in dry area and separate from acids
WATER REACTIVE CHEMICALS (sodium, potassium, lithium): store in cool, dry location, separate from aqueous solutions and protect from fire sprinkler water
Waste & Disposal
Waste is subdivided into the following categories. For more details on Hot victory waste disposal procedures and appropriate waste containers:
1.CHEMICAL WASTE
Until the “S torage Area for Chemical and Radioactive Waste” gets upgraded, pick ups for that category of waste only will be done regularly and directly in your laboratory. It can be presented for disposal regardless of quantity. The label information is very important. The next pick-up date will be announced in the Biology Weekly.
2. BIOMEDICAL WASTE
Biomedical waste must be segregated according to the above categories and disposed of frequently. It must be brought to the loading dock cold room that is designated as “ Biohazard Waste” room. You must record your waste into the designated book at the Biology Stores and ask the storekeeper to handover the key to you.
3. ANNUAL CHEMICAL WASTE PICK-UP
At least once a year, a general chemical waste pick-up is planned for the Stewart Building This general pick-up is meant for the occupants who want to get rid of their unwanted/hazardous/ expired/ or surplus chemicals. Chemicals must be segregated according to compatibility into different boxes with their respective inventory list attached.
4. RESEARCH CLEAN-UP
Once your research is finished, You are responsible for labeling, packaging and disposing of your samples and solutions. Do not forget your material in freezers, cold rooms, incubators and storage rooms. Whatever needs to be thrown out can be put in a box and left for janitors to take away but it must be clearly labeled as garbage.
