Introduction

Purpose

The Basic Course for Hazardous Waste Management is designed to meet the needs of environmental managers who are required to have some level of training for hazardous waste management at their facilities or for those managers who are required to complete annual refresher training required for compliance with hazardous waste regulation.

How is this Course Organized?

The course contains 5 modules. Each module will have assignments or additional readings related to the module, in addition to the material presented directly in this curriculum. The additional readings and assignments can be accomplished from your computer using the internet resources found at the end of the course or from hyperlinks located at the appropriate part of a module.

Each module plus assignment is followed by a quiz which you must complete in order to move on to the next module. The module quiz can be taken as many times as needed but you must achieve 100% correct in order to move on to the next module.

Should you have questions or comments at any time during the course a contact button will be available on the right side of the screen. We are pleased that you chose our on-line Hazardous Waste Management Course. We hope to have other professional development offerings for the environmental professional in the future.
