Dangerous Waste Workshops Now Online

Are you missing the dangerous waste management workshops previously held around the state? An online tutorial is now available at www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/hwtr/workshops/.

The tutorial has all the presentations from the workshops – Dangerous Waste 101, Designation, Counting, Rules for Generators, Preparing for an Inspection, Mock Inspection, and Pollution Prevention. It uses the slides and speakers' notes from the workshop, with links to Chapter 173-303 WAC, the Dangerous Waste Regulations and other on-line materials. Supplemental materials, such as the Material Safety Data Sheets for the designation exercises, are available in a separate file.

Anyone who wants to learn the basics of managing dangerous waste can work through the tutorial at their own pace. They can use it directly from the Web site, or download the files. The electronic format means they can learn the basics of waste management without leaving the workplace. The tutorial is available in PDF and Microsoft PowerPoint formats.

For more information about the online workshop, contact Mariann Cook Andrews at (360) 407-6740.
