Training & Certification
This training is intended for those with direct, supervisory and oversight responsibilities for efficiently and safely handling Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) waste.
Household Hazardous Waste & CESQG Collection Operations is a cooperative effort of the North American Hazardous Materials Management Association (NAHMMA) and SWANA. In addition to extensive classroom activities, following topics with supplemental images, graphs, tables, and examples are covered.
This course is designed to satisfy 24-hour OSHA HAZWOPER health and safety training as required by many states for HHW/CESQG operations.
Collection facility staff, health department staff, building officials, CESQG inspectors, technical assistance staff, state and local regulators, and other HHW/CESQG professionals who have responsibilities related to handling these wastes.
Stephen Simmons and a lively panel at SWANApalooza 2020 explored ways to deliver zero waste to landfills by 2040. That panel discussion is now available for purchase.
