In English it would have been more likely to be called simply \"Hazardous Waste Log\", but for your translation you likely have to give the full name including \"creation and storage\" for completeness.

Oddly, both the ESEN Collins online and my print edition of Oxford are missing this definition; like your dictionary, Jo, they only give \"binnacle\". The Larousse, however, does include \"logbook\".
Let\'s try the RAE. Binnacle, but with a link to \"cuaderno de bitácoro\", where we find: \"Mar. Libro en que se apunta el rumbo, velocidad, maniobras y demás accidentes de la navegación.\" So the RAE is on the right track, but limits the definition to a ship\'s log.
Now I am curious: I have certainly run into \"bitácora\" used in the general sense of a logbook, in industry, business and educational contexts. It\'s not an aberrant usage. Can anyone find a dictionary entry, however, that reflects this?

Well, besides the Gran Larousse, which did include \"logbook\", unqualified. |
