Used Oil Management

UOM-1.2



Oil is one of the most common chemicals used in both commercial and consumer machinery. It’s absolutely necessary as a lubricant for all types of engines, and when refined it yields gasoline, which makes those engines run in the first place. Unfortunately, oil can be hazardous to the environment. One gallon of oil can contaminate over a million gallons of fresh water. The negative impact of used oil on our environment is simply too great not to be taken seriously. This course is designed to provide the learner with skills to properly handle and dispose of used oil according to EPA regulations. This course is intended for employees of all industries who, during the course of their regular job duties, come into contact with, store, or dispose of used waste oil. This course is intended to assist the employer in complying with OSHA and EPA requirements for used oil management and disposal.
