Accurate hazardous waste manifest tracking prevents improper disposal and contamination. Proper documentation supports safe handling from generation through final disposal.
Training reinforces correct completion of the hazmat manifest and related shipping records. It supports transparency during audits, inspections, and regulatory reviews.
By completing this hazardous waste manifest training, employees gain the skills needed to manage hazardous materials manifest documentation safely and legally.
Training is required under both EPA and DOT regulations to ensure proper completion and management of the Hazardous Waste Manifest.
Yes. Under 49 CFR 172 Subpart H, the DOT requires hazmat training for any employee involved in transporting hazardous materials, which includes:
- Preparing and signing the manifest
- Shipping papers
- Safety and security awareness
- Large Quantity Generators (LQGs) must comply with 40 CFR Part 262.17(a)(7), which requires training for personnel handling hazardous waste, including manifest preparation and procedures.
- Proper completion of the EPA hazardous waste manifest is covered under Subpart B of Part 262.
While SQGs are not subject to the same formal training requirements as LQGs, they must still ensure that employees are thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures, including manifest requirements. Therefore, we recommend this training for employees of SQGs who may be required to fill and understand a RCRA hazardous waste manifest.
This HAZWASTE Manifest Training is ideal for professionals involved in hazardous waste management, transportation, compliance, and disposal.
- Hazardous Waste Generators: Large and Small Quantity Generators (LQGs and SQGs), EHS personnel, and facility managers responsible for waste shipments.
- Hazardous Waste Transporters: Drivers, logistics personnel, and employees of waste management companies handling hazardous waste.
- Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF) Personnel: Workers managing waste receipts, waste handlers, compliance officers, and recordkeeping staff.
- Environmental Consultants and Compliance Officers: Professionals conducting audits and ensuring EPA manifest compliance.
- Laboratory and Industrial Personnel: Staff in research labs, universities, and industrial facilities generating hazardous waste.
- Regulatory Inspectors: EPA and state regulatory inspectors and emergency responders.
There are no prerequisite training required before taking this course.
However, because the manifest serves as a DOT hazardous material shipping document, individuals responsible for its completion or signature must be trained and tested on DOT-required topics, including general awareness, function-specific duties, safety, and security.
As such, completion of DOT Hazmat Transportation – Advanced General Awareness Training is recommended for all personnel involved in the Hazardous Waste Manifest process.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your certificate in PDF format.
Validity: The course certificate is valid for three years.
Renewal: Simply take this course in 36 months to maintain compliance and stay current with DOT and EPA regulations.
