Training Requirements
The California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) requires generators of hazardous waste to provide training to personnel that handle or manage such waste.
This training includes hazardous waste management procedures and how to respond effectively to emergencies at the workplace.
EH&S has created two hazardous waste handler training presentations, where one is assigned to laboratory personnel and the other to non-laboratory personnel (such as those in Facilities or Fine Arts).
- Hazardous Waste Handler (non-laboratory personnel)
- Hazardous Waste Handler - Laboratories
Refresher training is required annually.
CY 2024 Update
At the end of CY 2024, a significant number of the employees assigned the training completed it or the annual refresher and are current.
