Faculty, staff and students who deal with hazardous or solid waste, hazardous substances,
and spill response are required to receive training in accordance with the University’s
Environmental Management Training Plan. No faculty, student or staff member is allowed
to work unsupervised in a position in which they handle or are exposed to hazardous
waste, hazardous materials, or are involved in spill response until they have received
the required training.
The Director of Environmental Management (and the designated Back-Up DEM) will attend
training/refresher courses to develop skills and increase knowledge in the areas of
hazardous materials and hazardous waste, DOT requirements, OSHA requirements related
to hazardous materials, webpage design and development for disseminating information,
bio-safety and bio-hazardous waste, and to maintain Certified Hazardous Materials
Manager status.
