Hazardous & Regulated Medical Waste Management Training
If you work with* hazardous chemical waste or regulated medical waste, you are required to take the appropriate Environmental Health and Safety Waste Management Training Class.
You are only required to take the training that applies to your work duties. If you work with both regulated medical waste and hazardous chemical waste you are required to take both training courses.
Please note that Hazardous Waste Management Training (ENV 001) is now offered on-line through the Blackboard e-Education platform. Taking the class on-line provides the same "credit" that you get when you attend the "live" classroom version. The on-line version can also be used to review the course material after you have taken the live class, or to take the annual refresher class, when required. For more information on how to access ENV 001 through Blackboard, please click here.
To take the Regulated Medical Waste Training (ENV 005) (soon to be available on Blackboard as well), download and print out the test & certification page, then open the Regulated Medical Waste PowerPoint Presentation and scroll (page down) through the training program.
The time to complete this course may vary. Answer any questions using the answer sheet provided, fill out the Training Certification sheet and return it to EH&S. EH&S will then update PeopleSoft which will, in turn, populate your SOLAR account to include successful completion of the course. If you have any questions contact EH&S.
* The term "to work with" or manage hazardous/regulated medical waste means you:
- decide if a material is a hazardous/regulated medical waste or not
- add hazardous/regulated medical waste into accumulation containers
- transport hazardous/regulated medical waste from the accumulation point (lab) to another location
- inspect hazardous/regulated medical waste storage areas
- respond to spills involving hazardous/regulated medical waste
