HazMat and Hazardous Waste Newsletter for Oct-12, Volume 1

October 2012 - Volume 1

Greetings!

I've gotten so busy the past few months I haven't had as much time to answer questions and write the articles for this newsletter. But no matter how busy I get I'll keep publishing, if for no other reason than the the deeper understanding of the regulations I've gained from writing these articles. I hope reading this newsletter has done the same for you. Please share it with others you know.

Training Options

The purpose of my training is to fulfill the regulatory requirements of two Federal agencies:

The US EPA (and authorized states) for Facility Personnel who handle hazardous waste [40 CFR 262.34(a)(4) & 40 CFR 265.16], and;
The US DOT for HazMat Employees who are responsible for the safe transportation of hazardous materials in commerce (49 CFR 172, Subpart H).

How the training is provided depends on your situation, I provide training in the following formats:

Public Workshops (see my schedule above).
On-Site Training.
Self-Guided Training.
Web-Based Training.
Hosted Training.

Contact me for a free consultation on your training needs.

You may also wish to follow me or view my presentations on slideshare. From time to time I'll upload short PowerPoint presentations on a variety of topics related to the transportation of HazMat or the management of hazardous waste. It's a great tool for explaining brief sections of complex and important regulations.
