Training Requirement
Citation: 40 CFR 265.16, 40 CFR 262.34(d)(5)(iii) and 49 CFR 172.704
In addition to the initial RCRA training, 40 CFR265.16(c) requires 'facility personnel must take part in an annual review of the initial training.'
The training requirements for SQGs are found in 40 CFR Part 262.34(d). 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'
This may require annual training by a facility or some other type of instruction appropriate to the wastes handled at the SQG site.
DOT's training requirements for shipping hazardous materials is located in 49 CFR Part 172 Subpart H. In addition to initial training [49 CFR 172.704(c)(1)], DOT requires 'recurrent training' every 3 three years.
'A hazmat employee shall receive the training required by this subpart at least once every three years.' [49 CFR 172.704(c)(2)]
The suggested retraining period for this course is listed as one (1) year because of the RCRA annual training component required for Large Quantity Generators. As stated above, the DOT requirement for refresher training is only once every three (3) years.
Refresher Training Required: Every 1 year(s).
