Course Overview

The hazardous waste consists of substances that could hurt the environment or impair human health. This type of waste comes from pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and wastewater treatment, and also everyday items like some batteries, light bulbs, paints, and solvents.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2017, more than 25,000 active waste generators produced about 35.1 million tons of hazardous waste – that is over 35 million tons of potentially fatal waste, produced in just one year.

What is Hazardous Waste Management? Hazardous waste management is the process of handling waste in a way that keeps employees, consumers, residents, and local ecosystems away from the harmful repercussions of such elements.

The chain of responsibility for hazardous waste management generally passes through multiple locations: generators, transporters, treatment, storage, and disposal.

What topics will this “Hazardous Waste Management and Disposal Training Course” cover? The training session discusses 4 key elements: hazardous waste disposal, emergency response planning, prevention of pollution, and recycling of metals and other redundant equipment.
