RCRA Hazardous Waste Awareness

Duration

25 Minutes

Regulatory references

40 CFR parts 260 thru 265

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, is the standard enacted by Congress at the federal level which regulates the identification, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. This program is intended to provide a basic knowledge on the different types of regulated waste and awareness on proper handling. This course will cover the RCRA regulation, employee responsibilities as well as waste recognition. The best way to deal with hazardous, universal, and special wastes is not to produce them in the first place. Where reduction is not possible then proper management is your best way of making sure you have a safe environment both at work and at home.
