The Hazardous Waste Management Winter Institute features two complete courses and a regulatory update modeled after the Summer Institute. As regulations and requirements became more voluminous, greater detail was added to the highly successful course titled "Introduction to Hazardous Waste Management." Consequently, the pace increased and the amount of information contained in the course was more than could be adequately absorbed by new environmental health and safety employees. Based on attendee comments, a more introductory course designed to impart the basic concepts, authorities, and practices in hazardous waste management was developed. The introductory course combined with DOT training allows the attendee to better prepare for on-the-job experience/training to be received at their company before proceeding to the next stage of more advanced topics in the field.
This section is for new employees who want a good general understanding of the authorities, intent, and basic procedures for managing hazardous waste. The subjects are introduced and discussed at a slower pace with numerous examples and class discussion to ensure understanding and to impart how to apply the knowledge in a practical manner. The program schedule details the subjects covered and the session concludes with a course review and regulatory update.

The Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act requires each hazmat employer to test and certify that every hazmat employee has been trained regarding safe loading, unloading, handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials within 90 days of assignment to hazmat duties. Re-certification must occur every three years for domestic shippers (every two years for international shippers). We Train, Test, Instructor Certify, and Provide Training Records ... so you don't have to!
