Hazardous Waste: A contaminated chemical or by-product of a production process ›that no longer serves its purpose, and needs to be disposed of properly by EPA and DOT laws/regulations.

Overall the one week training was very informative and helpful. However, there should have been more handson training with the use of equipment and less use of scientific terms during presentations and lectures. David R.

Both Kevin & Jim were very knowledgeable, and presented the needed information in a positive and professional manner. Both instructors made the classes interesting, and pleasant to attend. I am very pleased to have attended. Tim T.

Very friendly instructors who had a lot of real world experience to give examples from. Would like to do more hands on training, actually donning and doffing Haz Mat gear, going through mock decon zone, etc. I know that such equipment and props are expensive, but it would be worth it, even if course cost more to attend.
