Hazardous Waste Annual Refresher and Universal Waste Training 2018

On January 23, Pierce Atwood offered a hazardous waste refresher and universal waste training course. The course provided training on Maine requirements, at $200 per person, with discounts for multiple signups.

This half-day training was conducted at our office on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. We were pleased to offer this training as an alternative to other training that is longer, or more costly, or that does not focus on Maine requirements.

This training will built on each attendee's knowledge and taught how to solve real world problems. This course was designed for those who are familiar with the basics of hazardous waste management and we worked through the types of questions that typically arise from employees and from government inspectors – including recent enforcement actions and trends.

Our training included recent developments and:

• Hazardous waste identification issues, “hidden” issues in waste identification

• Hazardous waste management issues, including satellite accumulation, strategies, and recent enforcement positions on waste management

• On-site treatment: treating without a license and when licensing is required

• Universal waste identification and management

• Training requirements and training issues

• Spills and clean up, including how and when to report

• Federal and state hazardous waste and universal waste rulemaking initiatives

• Manifest issues and DOT rules as they apply to hazardous waste
