Hazardous Waste Is Dangerous —
Proper RCRA Training Protects Everyone
Hazardous waste mishandling can threaten employees, communities, and the environment. Does your team have the skills to stay safe and compliant?
Our Hazardous Waste / RCRA Training gives your workforce the tools to safely identify, manage, and dispose of hazardous materials in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). From initial generation to final disposal, we train workers to follow every regulation and procedure confidently.
Whether you operate a small facility or a large-scale site, EPA RCRA hazardous waste training is recommended and required. Annual training ensures employees understand hazardous waste regulations, protecting your site from violations, fines, and accidents.

Our mission is to empower your team with the knowledge and confidence to handle hazardous waste safely. Whether your employees are labeling drums, managing containers, or coordinating disposal, they’ll be prepared with practical skills and proven protocols.

Our Classes
Our courses are led by experienced, EPA-compliant instructors certified in hazardous waste handling, RCRA protocols, and site safety. We maintain a maximum 20:1 student-to-instructor ratio to ensure personalized instruction and a practical learning experience.
Training occurs in realistic environments that simulate hazardous waste scenarios, helping students apply what they learn in practical settings. Each session includes explicit instructions on documentation, inspection preparation, and emergency response procedures. Students also work hands-on with actual labeling materials, containment units, and waste handling simulations to reinforce knowledge retention and support regulatory readiness.
Certification
To earn RCRA Hazardous Waste certification, students must complete the entire course and pass a performance-based evaluation. Upon successful completion, participants receive an AOTC RCRA Certification with their course completion date.
EPA requirements make the certification valid for one year and include reminders for annual refresher training. For those who attend the course but do not complete the evaluation, a Recognition of Participation (ROP) is available.
