Course Methodology

This course will be highly interactive and include group discussions, case studies and syndicate work. It will include practical exercises that will allow all participants to use the knowledge they gained to demonstrate their skills in hazardous waste management.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Reduce waste management cost by effectively distinguishing the different types of hazardous waste and applying the relevant pre-transport requirements and disposal methods
Use engineering controls to ensure all individuals involved with hazardous waste have the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Avoid accidents by applying the correct handling methods for drums and containers used for various types of hazardous wastes
Identify training needs for all individuals involved with hazardous waste management
Develop emergency response plans to hazardous substance release

Target Audience

This course is beneficial for individuals in industries that generate hazardous materials and who are charged with the development of contingency or emergency plans. This course is also designed for individuals who are directly or indirectly involved in the cleanup efforts of areas or buildings contaminated with hazardous waste.
