Scheduled Waste Management

Introduction

This course improves participants' understanding of environmental awareness by exploring the notion of environmental contamination through the lens of toxic waste management. Scheduled wastes are highly toxic and detrimental to both the environment and human health. Improper waste management will result in a "non-compliance" or an illegal dumping case.

Participants will obtain a greater grasp of the Scheduled Wastes Regulations 2005, special waste management, and the categorization, transportation, and disposal of scheduled garbage. Companies should use this chance to explain any issues raised during the training session.

In the end, all participants will be confident in their ability to assess, practice, and recommend improvements to overall Scheduled Waste management at the workplace.
