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.
HAZMAT: Is often used when discussing the transport of hazardous materials, but any aspect of hazardous materials production, transport, use, disposal, or cleanup is covered under this standard.

The trainers were fantastic who were obviously well versed and experienced in hazardous waste regulations and emergency response practices. PTA, Inc has great resources and was able to cater to a variety of student's needs, from experienced hazardous substance transporters to students with no environmental experience. As an experienced environmental professional, I did not feel as if time was wasted or that progression through the training was slow, which was very much appreciated. 46 S Linden Street, Duquesne, PA 15110
