September 23, 2010- When workers handle hazardous waste or ship hazardous materials, training is not just a good idea, it’s the law. According to the EPA, workers who handle hazardous waste must be trained annually, and the federal DOT requires that workers involved in the shipment of hazardous materials be trained at least every three years. If your facility generates hazardous waste in the state of Texas, you must comply with the Texas hazardous and industrial waste regulations, as well as federal regulations that have not yet been incorporated into the Texas rules.

Environmental Resource Center, the leading provider of environmental and safety training, will present the mandatory training in San Antonio at the Hilton – San Antonio Airport on October 12-14, 2010. Classes begin at 8am and end at 5pm each day.

Hazardous Waste Management in Texas will be taught on October 12 and 13. This two-day seminar meets the Texas and federal annual training requirements for generators of hazardous waste in Texas. Topics covered include waste characterization, on-site management, manifesting, land disposal restrictions, recordkeeping and reporting, source reduction, and universal waste. Information on the modifications and new rules that may affect your facility's hazardous waste management program upon promulgation is also included.

DOT Hazardous Materials Training: The Complete Course will be taught on October 14, 2010 at the same location. This class meets both your initial and recurrent training requirements.

Registration for the training is available by calling 800-537-2372 or at http://www.ercweb.com/classes.

Now in its 29th year, Environmental Resource Center trains not only thousands of industry personnel every year, the company also trains personnel from most of the state and federal agencies that enforce the regulations.
