DOT Hazardous Waste Manifest

This course provides an introduction to the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, and is designed to comply with the requirements for off-site shipment of hazardous waste. Hazardous Waste Generators (as defined by 40 CFR Part 261, and includes both large and small quantity generators) who send hazardous waste off-site must comply with the Hazardous Waste Manifest System. The Hazardous Waste Manifest System is a set of forms, reports, and procedures designed to seamlessly track hazardous waste from the time it leaves the generator facility where it was produced, until it reaches the off-site waste management facility that will store, treat, or dispose of the hazardous waste. Employees who sign the Hazardous Waste Manifest must receive training as required by 49 CFR 172.704 Subpart H.

In addition to covering the function specific training for signing manifests, this course also includes general awareness of hazardous materials and security awareness, and may be used to satisfy the DOT training requirements found in 49 CFR 172.704 with respect to signing hazardous waste manifests. This training also satisfies the requirement that participants be tested on the material.
