Course Introduction
Hazardous waste
Hazardous waste is referred to as any unwanted material that poses a threat to human health, safety, or the environment at large due to its chemical, physical, or biological properties. This type of waste may be toxic, flammable, corrosive, reactive, or infectious. Examples include certain industrial chemicals, solvents, pesticides, medical waste, and radioactive materials. Considering economics, environmental safety, and public health while ensuring safe disposal methods poses continuous challenges for waste management systems globally.
This Hazardous Waste Management and Disposal Training Course will enhance participants’ understanding of safe handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste substances. It covers regulations, best practices, and techniques for mitigating environmental and health risks that come along with hazardous waste. Participants will learn how to identify hazardous waste, classify it according to standard regulations, implement proper storage and labelling procedures, and ensure compliance with legal requirements for disposal.
Course objective
- Recognise various contamination types and select the most appropriate disposal method for their organisation.
- Facilitate discussions on general and specific issues regarding contamination and waste management.
- Understand relevant legislation about environmental contamination and pollution.
- Understand how to navigate and prioritise challenges with waste and contamination management.
- Explore the contamination impacts on the environment and human health.
- Evaluate emerging models for treating contaminated soil, water, radioactive substances, air pollution, and industrial
