Hazardous Waste Training

To generate and manage hazardous waste at UK requires training to perform the associated duties in a way that ensures safe and compliant operations. Such training can be accomplished by completing the on-line training.  The verification of the participant’s knowledge of the material provided in the training is provided through the successful completion of an on-line quiz.

Initial Training:         Training must be completed within six months after the date of assignment to the position requiring management of hazardous waste. Work in unsupervised positions is not allowed until the successful completion of the training and subsequent verification of knowledge. 
Annual Training:          Annual refresher training is required as long as assigned job responsibilities include the management of hazardous waste.

Completing the training is automatically registered as proof of the required training and it allows access to UK’s web-based waste pick-up request system CampusOptics. For more information on CampusOptics, please click here.

The Hazardous Waste Management Basics Manual is the primary printed resource available to all in the UK community that are responsible for the generation and management of hazardous waste whether in a research or teaching laboratory or an operations-based location.
