This tutorial is intended to help users enter newly created RAM waste containers into EHSA or to add new inventory to a pre-existing waste container. Whenever a new RAM waste container is opened, it is required to be added to EHSA so that EHS staff can track RAM inventory. When a RAM waste container is full, or it has been 12 months since it's open date, users can request EHS to pickup RAM waste from the lab for disposal.
