The issue of environmental waste production has increased substantially, and educational institutions have become initiating agents because of their research and practical activities. This research work has the following objectives: To assess and analyze the environmental aspects and environmental impacts created by the chemistry laboratories at the Institute of Health and Biotechnology (IHB) in Coari, Amazonas, using management methodologies. The FMEA and Cleaner Production (CP) approaches were applied for risk assessment and decision-making to identify risks and propose preventive measures. It becomes clear that the Environmental Risk Index (ERI) guides activities toward managing or reducing risk. In the 67 cases of the process, 32 of them were assessed as priorities, two of which are high risk and require action. The results include the following objectives for a Waste Management System (WMS) suited to the environment in the institution: compliance with current environmental laws or regulations and the creation of a safer environment for students to work and learn.
