A minor corrective action was issued during our UL Assessment Audit concerning the container and method of carrying a sample of product from our mixing area to the Lab. A container with lid was located and a better method of labeling the container was put in place. Procedures in both areas were reviewed, updated, and communicated to relevant parties. The corrective action was considered to be effective. A minor corrective action was issued during our UL Assessment Audit concerning a non-hazardous materials spill and cleanup in two separate areas of the Plant. In one area a waste drum was moved to another location, environmental instruction was modified to include visual aids to better define the required reaction to small spills. In the other area, the waste handling documentation was modified to require the use of a spill containment pan in the area of the spill. The unit's cleaning procedure was expanded to include routine steam cleaning, removal of totes from rack to adequately clean it. The corrective action was considered to be effective.
