TRAINING/OTHER > Overview
The ability of personnel to manage hazardous waste can have a lot to do with the
quality and quantity of the training that they receive. An effective
training programme does not have to consume a great deal of time,
but it does need to be comprehensive enough to cover the topics required
by relevant regulations (especially Duty of Care). Although training
is typically up to the central environmental, health and safety (EH&S)
or Facilities Management offices of a college or university, this
responsibility may fall on the individual departments at some schools.
Relevant information is provided both here and in the expanded section
of this activity area of the EVC.
Whether or not personnel training requirements apply to your department
depends on the quantity of hazardous wastes generated per month.
Many organisations will combine different EH&S training sessions
to minimise the amount of time employees are “away”
from their job responsibilities. Continue on through the expanded
section to learn more about training requirements.
