Program Overview
Every workplace generates waste — and every type of waste, from general rubbish to hazardous chemicals, clinical waste, and radioactive materials, carries specific safety and environmental management obligations. Improper waste handling exposes workers to toxic substances, causes environmental contamination, and generates significant regulatory liability. ICLM's Waste Management Safety Training equips workers and environmental health and safety professionals with the knowledge to classify, handle, store, transport, and dispose of workplace waste safely, legally, and sustainably.
Workplace waste ranges from low-risk general waste to acutely toxic chemical waste, infectious clinical waste, explosive waste from demolition, and radioactive waste from nuclear or medical applications. Even "general" waste can present slip, fire, and vermin-attraction hazards when improperly managed. And hazardous waste mismanagement carries the potential for serious worker injury, environmental damage, and prosecution.
