Triangle Region Solid Waste Planners Committee Household Hazardous Waste October 28, 1993 and concepts have been incorporated into regulations governing personnel training. The training we provide for non-Laidlaw personnel meets the same high standards as that offered to our own employees. Training would be under the supervision of Mr. Joe Wynne. Mr. Wynne's qualifications are included in the Personnel section of this proposal. We recommend that'1'RSWPC personnel training be divided into two modules, described below. This approach allows individual local governments to take advantage of any hazardous materials training which personnel may have already completed. For example, a qualified hazardous materials technician with the local fire department may not need Module 1, and would complete Module 2 in order to become familiar with specific requirements related to the household hazardous waste program. We believe that this approach will be more cost effective than a "one size fits all" approach. Module 1 Safety Related To Waste Management - 8 Hrs Chemical Hazards/Toxicology Spill Management Use of Fire Extinguishers Emergency Equipment Decontamination General Safe Work Practices Accident Prevention Personal Protective Equipment for HHW Handlers Module 2 Regulatory Requirements for Management - 8 Hrs DOT Standards for Hazardous Materials Identification of DOT chemical hazard classes Fingerprint analysis Containerization of hazardous materials Labeling Marking EPA standards for Hazardous Wastes Storage Disposal Recordkeeping Chemical Segregation Consolidation of Materials Into Single Container (Bulking) Container Contents Sheets & Other Forms '1'RSWPC personnel could be trained either as a single group, or in smaller groups for each individual local government. Training in a single group is recommended both for cost efficiency and to assure familiarity and continuity between personnel from different Laidlaw Environmental Services 4
