Any employee exposed to hazardous substances, including hazardous waste, must complete the training requirements set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Proper training (and retraining) helps minimize accidents and reduce the risk of fines.
