Why employers train for this

Large quantity generators of hazardous waste must train their personnel, with initial training within 6 months and an annual review (40 CFR 262.17(a)(7)). The rule allows online training. This course covers general knowledge. Your trained program director and your site emergency procedures stay with the employer.

Where it is planned

United States. Large quantity generators only. Rules can differ by country, state and workplace, so check what applies to you.

This is not a regulated qualification and does not replace your employer's duties or site-specific training. It does not guarantee any inspection outcome.
