RCRA Hazardous Waste Identifcation and Management
Facilities that generate hazardous waste must comply with detailed regulatory requirements for waste characterization, container marking and labeling, waste minimization, manifesting, transportation, emergency response, and land disposal certification. EPA and state regulations require annual hazardous waste management training. This course will teach you how to properly identify, accumulate, minimize, and ship hazardous waste. You will learn how to develop a contingency plan and how to comply with land disposal restrictions. The course provides an in-depth look at the latest regulatory requirements, waste exemptions and exclusions, new universal waste requirements, VOC standards for hazardous waste generators, and waste minimization.
DOT Hazardous Materials Identification and Transportation
The Department of Transportation (49 CFR 172.704) makes training mandatory for almost anyone who handles hazardous materials, regardless of the amount. This affects employees who select or prepare hazardous materials packages, label containers, complete shipping papers, load or unload vehicles, transload hazardous materials, or operate vehicles used in the transport of hazardous materials. DOT requires initial training and recurrent training every three years. This class meets both your initial and recurrent training requirements.

RCRA and DOT Annual Refresher
This course is a convenientt way to meet both your RCRA 40 CFR 265.16 annual review and DOT 49 CFR 172.704 (c)(2) recurrent training requirements. During this class you will review the important concepts and procedures required for compliance with hazardous waste (EPA/RCRA) and hazardous materials transport (DOT/HMTSA) regulations. You'll also learn how to avoid the most common violations cited by EPA and DOT, as well as how to comply with any new requirements that recently promulgaged.

OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER), 40-Hour
Personnel who are expected to respond to on-site chemical releases are required to have 24 hours of initial training. Personnel who are involved in cleanups at waste sites-including Superfund sites, RCRA corrective action sites, or even voluntary cleanups involving hazardous substances-must have 40 hours of initial classroom instruction. This class provides in-depth instruction on how to perform emergency response activities. Topics include hazard recognition, spill control and containment, worker protection, and waste site activities such as site characterization, waste handling, and decontamination. You will have the opportunity to apply your training during a hands-on simulated incident response.

OSHA HAZWOPER Refresher, 8-Hour
OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response rule at 29 CFR 1910.120 regulates cleanup sites, TSDs and emergency responders. Sections 1910.120 (e) and (p) require workers engaged in hazardous waste operations and workers at TSDs to receive at least eight hours of refresher training annually. Course topics include how to assess the risk of chemical releases, employee safety, environmental monitoring with direct reading instruments, and incident control and management.
OSHA Hazardous Waste Supervisor, 8-Hour
OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120(e)(4) require that on-site management and supervisors directly responsible for, or who supervise employees engaged in, hazardous waste operations, receive at least eight additional hours of specialized training at the time of job assignment on such topics as the employer’s safety and health program, personal protective equipment program, spill containment program, and health hazard monitoring procedures and techniques. This training will help to meet these requirements when given in conjunction with site-specific or on-the job training for supervisors in the field.
