RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Training course is designed for individuals seeking training and certification for work in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations 40 CFR Part 261 and 40 CFR Part 262 for handling and management of hazardous waste in line with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976. The EPA requires training for personnel engaged in hazardous waste management and handling operations to familiarize them with the procedures for proper management of hazardous waste from “Cradle-To-Grave.” The term Cradle-To-Grave means to manage hazardous waste from the time the waste is first created, through transportation, treatment, and storage, until its final disposal.
The RCRA Training course is suitable for hazardous waste generators; supervisors; owners and personnel employed by treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs); hazardous waste contractors, and environmental compliance specialists, among many others.
This training will enable employees to understand EPA regulations for handling hazardous waste and help employers comply with these regulations to ensure a safe work environment for all stakeholders. The training will also encompass emergency procedures for various categories of hazardous waste generators.
The RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Training must be provided to personnel within six months of job assignment or change in job function and on an annual basis thereafter.
The core objective of the RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Training is to familiarize personnel engaged in the handling of hazardous waste with the correct procedures for managing and responding to emergencies associated with the waste materials at their site.

RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Training Syllabus
This RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Training course consists of two modules broken down into 9 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
Introduction
Module 1: EPA Cradle-to-Grave Program
This module describes the core elements of the EPA’s cradle-to-grave program and the steps that must be followed to comply with the EPA regulations for the management of hazardous waste. Lessons summarize the mission of the EPA and the various EPA administered environmental laws, explain the purpose of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and discuss the importance of the uniform hazardous waste manifest system. Learners will also be able to define hazardous waste, classify hazardous waste generators into three categories, describe the episodic generation and types of episodic events, and summarize the process by which waste generators can identify whether their waste is hazardous by the end of this module. Learners will also be able to understand the three different ways facilities can collect and manage their hazardous waste (SAAs, CAAs, and TSDFs) and the regulatory requirements for transporters of hazardous waste.
- Lesson 1: Regulatory Overview
- Lesson 2: Hazardous Waste - An Overview
- Lesson 3: Hazardous Waste Generators
- Lesson 4: Hazardous Waste Storage
- Lesson 5: Hazardous Waste Transportation
Module 2: Regulations for Specific Wastes
This module describes the procedures for managing spills and emergencies at hazardous waste sites and the specific provisions for handling certain categories of hazardous waste. Lessons provide details about the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), define the term “release" as specified under CERCLA, discuss the equipment that small quantity generators (SQGs) and large quantity generators (LQGs) must maintain in case of emergencies, summarize the dangers of mixing and/or storing incompatible wastes, explain the general purpose of the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) Program, and define used oil and other wastes as well as universal waste.
- Lesson 6: Managing Spills and Emergencies
