RCRA Refresher is a fast-paced course providing an overview of federal solid and hazardous waste management laws and regulations that affect generators of hazardous waste. The course discusses how to recognize hazardous wastes, how to manage waste correctly on site, how to properly select, label and mark waste containers, how to prepare shipments for transport to treatment, storage and disposal facilities, and how to properly keep records for compliance and enforcement.
This course assumes the student has a working knowledge of hazardous waste regulations and has received training previously. Due to the fast-paced nature of the course, it is not recommended as initial training.
The course is designed to assist facilities to meet the annual training requirements for generators of hazardous waste, including the requirements presented in 40 CFR 262.16 (b)(9)(iii) and 40 CFR 262.17(a)(7) (these training requirements were previously located in 40 CFR 265.16, 40 CFR 264.16 and 40 CFR 262(d)).
The course includes discussion of the new Generator Improvement Rule promulgated in 2016.

Citation: 40 CFR 262.16(b)(9)(iii), and 40 CFR 262.17(a)(7)
According to 40 CFR 262.17(a)(7) LQG personnel must successfully complete a program of classroom instruction, online training (e.g., computer-based or electronic), or on-the-job training that teaches them to perform their duties in a way that ensures compliance with the hazardous waste regulations.
In addition to the initial RCRA training, 40 CFR 262.17(a)(7)(iii) requires LQG personnel to complete an annual refresher on RCRA.
The training requirements for SQGs are found in 40 CFR Part 262.16(b)(9)(iii). SQGs must ensure that their workers are:
"...thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures relevant to their responsibilities during normal facility operations and emergencies"
The requirement for SQGs may require annual training or other type and frequency of training appropriate to the wastes handled at the SQG site.
Refresher Training Required: Every 1 year(s).
