Hazardous Waste Management and Pollution Course

Improper storage of hazardous chemicals- both products and wastes-incompatible inspection of containment materials, using hazardous products when non-hazardous products are available and inadequate training of staff are some of the leading causes of environmental contamination.

Contamination can come in many forms- Some examples of contamination are ground and surface water, land, air, radioactive, food, noise, melds, door, construction, vibration, etc. and invariably, if these contaminants are not properly dealt with, will result in pollution and in certain situations serious health problems.

This training course will give details on the various types of contaminants and the new frontiers in eliminating or minimizing these contaminants, the use of effective non-hazardous products in your company and environmentally acceptable methods of disposal for both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.

Workshops, videos and classroom audit exercises will enhance the learning process and the economic side of minimizing or preventing pollution by industry and the associated tangible rewards will be emphasized throughout the training course.
