* Your name and storage assignment, if this will be personal material. If you do not have storage assigned to you, please explain where you plan to store the substance. If you propose to make the material available to the space generally, confirm that the appropriate Area Host has approved of putting it into general usage.

If you propose to make the material available to the space generally, confirm that the appropriate Area Host has approved of putting it into general usage and describe how it will be stored.
General Operations will review the proposed material and will reply as quickly as possible with any restrictions that may apply. These may include limits on the amount to be stored at any one time, the duration of storage, conditions of storage, or other requirements. If those restrictions are acceptable to you, General Operations will register the type, quantity, and location of the material. You may then bring the material into the space under the restrictions that are established.

There is no minimum size for the label, but it must remain reasonably legible while the container remains in the space.

(GenOps does, and needs info)
On receiving a request for registration, General Operations will review the hazards of the material and its compatibility with the space. The review will include, at least:
* Fire, health, and reactivity hazards, both during use and in storage
* Known legal requirements, such as restrictions imposed by Chicago Municipal Code (in particular, [https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/chicago/latest/chicago_il/0-0-0-2522374 Title 15])
* The amount of the material, or similar materials, already on site.
Practical mitigation measures will also be devised for these hazards where necessary, which may include limiting the quantity in the space at one time, restricting storage to certain areas (such as the flammables cabinet), requiring an attendant while it is in use, or other reasonable measures.
General Operations has the authority to refuse registration of a material that cannot be safely stored in the space. A refusal may be appealed through the [[Dispute Resolution Committee]].
Approved materials will be put on a register, showing who brought the material into the space, the amount on site, and its location, and linking to the Safety Data Sheet for the material if one exists. This register will be used to control the quantity and location of hazardous materials, and to provide critical information to fire and medical personnel in case of an emergency.
It is the responsibility of a registered material's user to update the registry when that material is taken off-site or is no longer needed.
==Disposal==
==Disposal==
(Nope!)
All hazardous materials used in the space shall be disposed of properly, in accordance with the SDS, after use or when they are no longer needed.
They shall not be put into the ordinary trash, except where this is permitted by the SDS or when the material has been acceptably neutralized (for example, many latex paints can be put in ordinary trash if mixed with an absorbent like kitty litter). Small quantities may be accepted at household hazardous waste centers or collection events. See the Illinois EPA's [https://www2.illinois.gov/epa/topics/waste-management/waste-disposal/household-hazardous-waste/Pages/disposal.aspx guidance] for more advice and information.
Pumping Station: One does not maintain facilities for disposing of hazardous materials.
