RCRA/DOT Training Overview

Facilities that manage hazardous waste must comply with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations. Hazardous waste is a special class of solid waste that must be managed properly to protect human health and the environment. Federal and state laws regulate how businesses must manage this waste. Regulations require training for personnel who handle or manage hazardous waste.  Training requirements for the management of hazardous material varies based on the amount and types of wastes generated at your facility.
