Objectives: This study aims to develop an Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) guide for the collection, storage and disposal of hazardous waste generated during the manufacture of electronic products. Methods: The guide was developed through a literature review, expert consultations, and field investigations. It focuses on establishing best practices for the proper management of hazardous waste, including its collection, storage, and disposal. Results: Key practices for the collection, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste in electronics manufacturing include: 1) Labelling and segregation of wastes based on chemical compatibility in order to prevent hazardous reactions, 2) use of appropriate leak-proof containers for each type of hazardous waste, 3) regular training on hazardous waste handling with strict adherence to safety protocols, and 4) compliance with local and national regulations for safe and legal disposal. Conclusions: The OSH guide helps protect workers involved in the collection, storage, and disposal of hazardous chemical waste in the electronics industry and improve health and safety compliance.
