What is the purpose of the Waste Tracking Form (DPFD-1120)?

• A. To track the disposal of unused or expired controlled substances.
• B. To schedule patient appointments.
• C. To document incident command decisions.
• D. To log fuel usage.

Answer: (A)

This form exists to keep strict accountability and regulatory compliance for any controlled substances that are unused or expired. It records exactly what substance was disposed of, the amount, when disposal occurred, who authorized it, and how the disposal was carried out, ensuring a traceable, auditable path from inventory to final disposal. This helps prevent diversion, supports accurate inventory control, and ensures the department meets applicable laws and regulations. Scheduling patient appointments, documenting incident command decisions, or logging fuel usage are unrelated administrative tasks and are handled through other processes.
