October 21, 2009 – When workers handle hazardous waste or ship hazardous materials, training is not just a good idea, it’s the law. According to the EPA, workers who handle hazardous waste must be trained annually, and the federal DOT requires that workers involved in the shipment of hazardous materials be trained at least every three years.

DOT and RCRA Annual Update and Refresher course is the perfect way to meet both your annual review and DOT 49 CFR recurrent training requirements as well as learn about new requirements that have been enacted over the past year. The IATA/IMO course satisfies the requirement for personnel who ship hazardous materials by air or water. They must receive training mandated by the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) and International Maritime Organization (IMO) every two years.

Environmental Resource Center, the leading provider of environmental and safety training, will present the mandatory training in Pittsburgh Crown Plaza – Pittsburgh Airport on November 10 and 11, 2009. Classes begin at 8am and end at 5pm each day.

DOT and RCRA Annual Update and Refresher will be taught on November 10.

IATA/IMO will be taught on November 11.

Registration for the mandatory training is available by calling 919-469-1585 or at
