hazardous waste identification

BOSTON, Mass. (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Fines and penalties are on the rise for facilities that fail to comply with Federal and State hazardous waste rules. In May, the U.S. EPA fined an Illinois recycling facility $700,000 for violating the hazardous waste regulations. For those responsible for managing hazardous waste, Lion Technology Inc. will be hosting its two-day Hazardous/Toxic Waste Management Workshop. Workshops will be held in Parsippany on December 2-3; Manchester on December 6-7; Boston on December 9-10; Hartford on December 13-14; and Philadelphia on December 16-17, 2010.

Training is required annually for all hazardous waste facility personnel. This comprehensive workshop provides hands-on training on the critical rules managers must know to ensure compliance with the regulations. Students learn how to identify regulated waste, handle and store waste on site, prepare waste for off-site shipping, prepare and plan for emergencies, keep records, assure proper disposal, and prepare their site for new regulatory changes.

Tuition is $795 per person, with group discounts available. Registration includes course reference materials, networking luncheon, certificate of achievement, and one year of follow-up support. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m., and the workshop runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pre-registration is highly recommended.

"With a slow economy and budget tightening, the reflex is to go towards shorter and inexpensive training options. However, with enforcement initiatives on the increase, shortchanging your training puts you at risk of costing you more in the long run."
