Hazardous Waste Awareness (RCRA)

HZW-1.2

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have very stringent requirements for hazardous waste storage, handling and transportation. Not disposing of waste properly could result in a hefty fine, in addition to potential environmental damage. This course is designed to teach employees about the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and their responsibilities when dealing with hazardous waste at work. Employees will learn how to identify and describe the basics of federal hazardous waste regulation, define hazardous waste, and the different generator status categories. This course is intended for employees who, during their regular work duties, are required to work with or around hazardous waste. This course can assist employers in meeting OSHA and EPA requirements on hazardous waste. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
