Introduction:

Thank you for participating! This online course is for anyone who needs first-time training or wants a review course for hazardous waste management.

This chemical waste management training highlights the most common violations found in laboratories and provides guidance for:

  • Identification of hazardous waste
  • Proper hazardous waste container management
  • Hazardous waste pick-up and disposal procedures
  • Hazardous waste reduction

What you need to know:

  • This training is approximately 30 pages long. Please note the time you begin - we will request that you let us know how long you spent in the training.
  • Use the Previous and Next buttons at top to navigate through the screens. You can use the sidebar at any time to go back and study during the training portion of the course. However, the sidebar will not help you with the three sample questions that work sequentially. If you answer them incorrectly, you will be sent back to the question page. If you answer them correctly, you'll be sent on to the next slide.
  • You must complete the evaluation and quiz at the end to receive credit for the course. The quiz consists of eleven questions based on the slides you are about to see. You will need your student or staff ID number and your internet ID and password in order to take the test - the test is administered through Catalyst.
  • A record of your completion of the course will be maintained by EH&S. You will be notified whether you pass or fail the quiz. You can retake the quiz as many times as you need to to pass the course.
