MMD Newswire: Press Release News Wire

February 15, 2010 (MMD Newswire) -- When workers handle hazardous waste or ship hazardous materials, training is not just a good idea, it's the law. According to the EPA, workers who handle hazardous waste must be trained annually, and the federal DOT requires that workers involved in the shipment of hazardous materials be trained at least every three years. Personnel who ship hazardous materials by air or water must receive training mandated by the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) and International Maritime Organization (IMO) every two years.

Environmental Resource Center, the leading provider of environmental and safety training, will present the mandatory training in Chicago at the Spring Hill Suites - Chicago O'Hare on February 23 - 26, 2010. Classes begin at 8am and end at 5pm each day.
