A facility should have a variety of information sources available for hazardous materials that they use. Two good sources for finding out information on these materials includes Material Safety Data Sheets and Hazardous Materials training resources.
MSDSMSDS
The inventory of hazardous materials, and their respective Material Safety Data Sheets.
At a fixed facility the best place to look for the names of the hazardous materials are the MSDS and the Emergency Planning Documents.
Ask your coworkers, or check the hazardous materials inventory.

The best places to look for the names of hazardous materials in a commercial product are: * on the product label * on the product's Material Safety Data Sheet (available from manufacturer or distributor, often on their website) The best places to look for names of hazardous materials unrelated to interest in a particular product are: * the regulations and web sites of regulatory agencies such as OSHA, EPA and the Department of Transportation (in the US) * printed reference materials in libraries, catalogued under toxicology * on-line MSDS collections of manufacturers, Universities, etc.
To safely dispose of broken glass and hazardous waste materials, follow these steps: Wear gloves and use a broom and dustpan to carefully clean up the broken glass. Place the glass in a sturdy container, such as a cardboard box or plastic container, and seal it securely. Label the container as "broken glass" or "hazardous waste" to alert others. Contact your local waste management facility or recycling center for guidance on proper disposal methods. Do not mix hazardous materials with regular trash and never dispose of them in the recycling bin.
