RCRA hazardous waste awareness
This training module covers Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste awareness. It walks through the TRIC characteristics (toxic, reactive, ignitable, and corrosive), container labeling and accumulation start dates, satellite and central accumulation rules, universal waste storage time limits, closed-container and aisle-space requirements, and what to do in a spill or fire emergency.
Use the video with your environmental and operations teams. Confirm your site’s contingency plan, designated Emergency Coordinators, and accumulation procedures in your own written programs. This resource is educational awareness training and is not a substitute for facility-specific procedures or required regulatory certifications.
