Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Parts 1-2 (US)

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act is the law that governs the disposal of solid waste and hazardous waste. Due to this law, 18 million acres of contaminated lands - nearly equal to the size of South Carolina - have been restored and made ready for productive reuse. The RCRA training course is divided into two comprehensive parts that provide in-depth knowledge and skills required for the proper management of hazardous waste. The RCRA course covers essential topics such as waste identification, regulatory compliance, emergency response procedures, and effective waste management strategies. By getting RCRA training completion certificate, you can stay compliant and safe while dealing with waste material.
