Industry: Environment

Press Release Summary: When workers handle hazardous waste, ship hazardous
materials, or work in certain areas exposed to storm water, 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. In addition,
EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit requires training for all employees who work in
areas where industrial materials or construction activities are exposed to storm
water, and for all employees responsible for implementing activities in their storm
water pollution prevention plan.
