This is a 4-hour training program designed for both new and previously trained employees and addresses both the state and federal hazardous waste regulations applicable to generators. It is specifically designed to instruct employees in the requirements as they pertain to generating and accumulating hazardous waste.

Who Should Attend?

The US EPA RCRA hazardous waste training requirements that apply to you and your staff will depend on how much hazardous waste your site generates in one calendar month.

All “personnel” training required Annually. All persons that work at, or oversee operations that involve hazardous waste.

♦ Small Quantity Generators (SQG)
All employees must be “thoroughly familiar” with waste handling and emergency procedures relevant to their job responsibilities.

♦ Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQG)
Although training may not be explicitly required, it is good management practice to ensure employees know what rules apply to the site.
