ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Compliance – It’s the Law! Many businesses are unaware that they are subject to regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). If your facility generates, stores, transports or disposes of hazardous waste, you must comply with RCRA. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is responsible for enforcing RCRA throughout the state.
The effects of improper management of hazardous waste are similar to throwing a rock into a pond. Initial damage may begin to appear at the workplace or on the property. The rippling effect continues as the hazardous waste enters the air or groundwater and the damage migrates toward surrounding communities. The generator of this hazardous waste is responsible for damages or required cleanup at any location where the waste may eventually spread.
This course provides you with an overview of RCRA and other federal and state regulations that govern hazardous waste. At the end of this course, you will be able to:
