Purpose:
This 16-hour course provides recurrent training regarding regulatory requirements of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (HMTA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as it applies to the generation, transportation, and disposal of hazmat, focusing upon hazardous waste. It enables employers to certify, as required by 49 CFR 172 Subpart H, that their employees have been trained and tested in general awareness and function-specific elements described below. In addition, this is an ISEERB approved and DoD approved course as per DoD 4500.9-R. It has been reviewed by subject matter experts from DoD components and found to be suitable for more than one agency. (Note: Certain RCRA and safety related training elements required by 49 CFR 172 Subpart H and 40 CFR 265.16 are typically site-specific and must be performed on the job.)

Training topics cover the identification and classification of hazardous wastes for purposes of preparing a hazardous waste manifest and fulfilling the DOT requirements for shipping hazardous wastes. Specifically, training topics include RCRA waste classification; land disposal restrictions and notification; manifesting requirements; identification of a DOT Reportable Quantity; use of the Hazardous Materials Table; and DOT requirements for determining a shipping name, proper packaging, labeling, marking, placarding, DOT emergency response requirements, and general security awareness.
