Environmental Compliance Training

How We Do It

Regulatory compliance isn’t a one-person job. Are your personnel up to date on hazardous waste regulations?

To ensure you’re doing everything you can to meet and exceed the standards you uphold, the experts at Heritage are now offering a choice between in-person or virtual training.

These training sessions are designed to appeal to a variety of attendees, including brand-new employees just starting in the hazardous waste industry, to seasoned professionals who are interested in the various changes to the regulations. We will cover the foundation of the regulations, generator requirements, and focused topics including the generator improvement rules, the new pharmaceutical management rules, and aerosols as a universal waste.

Online Sessions

Online sessions will open 30 minutes before and will remain open 30 minutes after the training for open conversation and questions. Please join us in ensuring that you and your teams are knowledgeable and safe in managing your hazardous waste. Virtual RCRA sessions will be a 7 hour course and will not include state specific information.
In-Person Training

In-person training will be held over the course of two days. On the first day, we cover RCRA, and on the second day, we cover DOT Hazmat. Food will be provided. We offer in-person training in various locations across the country. If there is no in-person training option near you, you are welcome to sign up for one of our online webinars.

Compliance Training Sessions (RCRA / DOT Hazmat)

All of our sessions now offer a day and a half of expanded training. Day one will always be our annual RCRA review (including initial, refresher, and updated information). Day two offers DOT Hazmat training.
