RCRA TRAINING
Employee training is an important component of EPA's RCRA regulations.
Hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) and large quantity generators (LQGs) of hazardous waste are required to train employees within 6 months of commencement of employment or assignment to a new position. Refresher training must be provided annually.
Small quantity generators (SQGs) of hazardous waste must ensure that facility personnel are thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency response procedures.
TSDFs and hazardous waste generators all have training requirements under the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT's) hazardous materials regulations when receiving waste or transporting waste off-site.
For more information concerning RCRA training requirements, see the national sections GENERATORS and TRAINING. Keep in mind that individual states may have stricter training requirements.
