INDUSTRIES THAT REQUIRE THIS COURSE

If you’re thinking about seeking a job with an employer that generates, manages, stores or handles hazardous waste, you may be surprised by the number of industries that require RCRA hazmat certification training. Many products people use often and then dispose of are considered hazardous waste, so it’s no wonder that training like this course is required in such a wide array of verticals.

The petroleum industry is an example of a vertical that requires DOT RCRA certification for generating and transporting hazardous waste. The medical supply, automotive, beauty, HVAC supply, recycling and electronics industries are additional examples of verticals that require employers and employees to complete training courses and pass an exam every year (some states may have different requirements).

If the industry you’re in requires you to earn a DOT RCRA certification for transporting hazardous waste, we invite you to sign up for this course. If your employees need to earn their certifications as well, set up a corporate or group account so you can benefit from a discount of up to 20 percent.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE?

DO YOU HANDLE, MANAGE OR STORE HAZARDOUS WASTE AT YOUR SITE?

If you generate, store, manage or handle hazardous waste at your job site and offer it for transportation, then you and your employees must undergo Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and DOT hazmat certification training. By completing this DOT RCRA hazmat course, you’ll satisfy the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation’s requirement for mandatory initial certification and recertification.

Hazardous waste management refers to various responsibilities. Your entire operation should know how to properly handle these materials, from collection to treatment to disposal of hazardous waste. Without RCRA-approved training, you could risk substantial harm or damage. Knowing how to treat, store, transport and dispose of this waste can be a life-saving operation.

It’s all too easy for hazardous waste to end up in places it shouldn’t be, such as our drinking water. Improper hazardous waste disposal can contaminate groundwater supply and pollute local areas. For complete environmental quality assurance, ensure your team is trained on industry-best practices when handling hazardous waste.

DO YOU FILL OUT OR SIGN HAZARDOUS WASTE MANIFESTS?

People who are new to working with or near hazardous waste often think they’re immune from required training if their role is limited to signing manifests. While that’s a common belief, it isn’t accurate. Hazmat professionals who are responsible for signing off on manifests still need to complete the requisite training. Understanding hazardous waste rules and regulations is necessary, even for those who have never touched the materials.

Luckily, Hazmat School offers online training for hazardous waste manifests. When you complete this online DOT RCRA hazmat manifest course, you’ll earn a certification that’s instantly accessible and printable.

DO YOU OFFER THE WASTE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SIGN OFF ON THE HAZARDOUS WASTE MANIFEST?

If the hazardous waste at your location is offered for transport, this online DOT RCRA hazardous waste training course is mandatory for you and your employees. Since this course is offered online, you can complete your training any time of day or night. You can start your coursework now and finish later because your course will be available for 60 days. If you don’t finish your course and pass the exam within that timeframe, you’ll need to re-enroll in this affordable, information-laden training course.

Throughout your training, you’ll be able to reach out to fully trained, knowledgeable instructors to ask questions about your coursework.
