  • disposed of all appropriate chemicals and other wastes, and
  • completely labeled (with chemical names, not notebook numbers or other shortcuts) any chemicals or other materials which you are leaving behind which are not in manufacturers' containers.
  • cleaned and organized your work area, and
  • completed the questions below and attached the necessary list(s), and
  • passed the work area inspection (make the appointment as soon as you know when you will be ready).  It will take about 10 minutes if everything is perfect.
