Health, Safety and Environment

JUST RELEASED! Universal Waste Training Course

General Safety

This interactive course discusses the types of hazardous materials that are considered to be universal waste, and how to handle and dispose of them according to the EPA Universal Waste Regulation.

Disposing of hazardous waste can be a long and complicated process, but some hazardous waste materials are less harmful to people and the environment than others. To make it easier to recycle these low-risk hazardous waste materials, the EPA created a different class of hazardous waste called universal waste. Although the criteria for their disposal aren’t as strict as for other hazardous wastes, there are still processes and procedures that must be followed to ensure that they are handled and transported safely.

The course uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text and colorful graphics to enhance the learner’s experience.

The English version of this course is currently available online in Full-Length Interactive, Adaptive Learning, Micro-Learning formats, Video On Demand (VOD) for streaming over the internet and DVD that can be played locally at any facility. Spanish versions of the course will be available soon.
