Why Attend
It is critical for every individual involved with hazardous waste, whether with its disposal or more commonly with its
transportation, to acquire the relevant safe handling knowledge and skills.
The first step in effective hazardous is to understand the difference between what is hazardous and what is not. Many
types of hazardous material require special handling, and the correct handling methods must be used for the material
being disposed.
Indeed, hazardous waste, if not contained correctly can lead to fires, explosions, or the release of toxic fumes due to
interaction with the container. It is crucial to ensure the hazardous material is ready for transport in order to reduce
risks, last minute efforts and added expenses.
This course provides every professional involved with the knowledge and skills to ensure the safe handling of
hazardous waste as well as drafts of contingency/emergency plans.

Course Methodology
This course will be highly interactive and include group discussions, case studies and syndicate work. It will include
practical exercises that will allow all participants to use the knowledge they gained to demonstrate their skills in
hazardous waste management.
