For facility staff who handle hazardous waste: why waste determinations matter, how generator category sets your limits, and how to manage satellite and central accumulation containers so they stay closed, marked, inspected and safe.
What this certificate covers
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on EPA 40 CFR 262.11, 262.13, 262.15, 262.16(b) and 262.17(a). It is not an OSHA card or license, and it is not an EPA or state certification. It does not by itself meet the training requirements of 40 CFR 262.17(a)(7) or 262.16(b)(9)(iii). A large quantity generator must still ensure that facility personnel successfully complete a program of classroom instruction, online training, or on-the-job training, directed by a person trained in hazardous waste management procedures, that teaches them hazardous waste management procedures (including contingency plan implementation) relevant to their positions, within six months after the date of their employment or assignment, and that they take part in an annual review. A small quantity generator must still ensure that all employees are thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures, relevant to their responsibilities during normal facility operations and emergencies. States with authorized programs may have more stringent or more extensive requirements.
