Course Objectives

The objective of this Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Awareness online course is to provide a general understanding of the purpose of RCRA and the training requirements for workers involved in the handling of hazardous waste, whether their employer generates the hazardous waste or their employer is involved in the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain the need for and purpose of RCRA;
  • Describe basic training requirements for RCRA, emergency response, DOT, and OSHA;
  • Explain why OSHA training requirements are more strict than RCRA requirements;
  • Identify where RCRA and HAZWOPER intersect;
  • Explain the purpose of CERCLA (or 'Superfund') and how it is different from RCRA;

Training Requirements

There are no prerequisites to take this training.

Additional Training

Workers must receive training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job. Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training supplied by their employer. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures.

As a rule, this company-specific training should be well documented.
