OSHA RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Training

The RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Training course is designed for individuals seeking training and certification for work in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations 40 CFR Part 261 and 40 CFR Part 262 for handling and management of hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976. This course provides essential knowledge for personnel engaged in hazardous waste operations to ensure compliance with EPA’s “Cradle-To-Grave” management approach, which covers waste generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and final disposal.

What is RCRA?

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is a federal law that governs the management of hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste in the United States. It establishes the framework for proper waste management to protect human health and the environment. Under RCRA, hazardous waste must be tracked and controlled from its initial creation (“cradle”) to its ultimate disposal (“grave”).

This course is designed for individuals involved in hazardous waste generation, handling, or management, including:

  • Hazardous waste generators
  • Supervisors and environmental managers
  • Owners and personnel of Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs)
  • Hazardous waste contractors and consultants
  • Environmental compliance specialists

Employer Responsibilities

Employers are required by the EPA to ensure all personnel handling hazardous waste receive proper RCRA training within six months of their job assignment or change in job function, and annually thereafter. Training must cover waste identification, labeling, storage, transportation, and emergency response procedures. Employers must maintain documentation of training records and ensure compliance with both federal and state environmental regulations.
