Hazardous Material: A substance (gas, liquid, or solid) capable of creating harm to people, the environment, and/or property. Some examples include: solvents, paints, gasoline, adhesives, lubricants, etc.
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.

Joe and Tom were very knowledgeable on the subject matter, they made it very simple to understand and retain the information. They provided insight that was not just course related, but added personal experiences which placed light and importance to the lesson plan.
