Hazmat Training Comes to Knoxville

Knoxville, TN, October 01, 2015 --(PR.com)-- 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. Many workers never get this training, which can result in tragic accidents and big penalties.

Environmental Resource Center, the leading provider of environmental and safety training, will present the mandatory training in Knoxville at the Holiday Inn Select - Cedar Bluff, October 20-22, 2015.

Hazardous Waste Management: The Complete Course will be presented on October 20 and 21.

Hazardous Materials Certification Training for DOT 49 CFR Transportation Regulations will be held on October 22 at the same location. Classes begin at 8am and end at 5pm each day.

Registration for the training is available by calling 800-537-2372 or at http://www.ercweb.com/classes.

Now in its 34th year, Environmental Resource Center trains not only thousands of industry personnel every year; the company also trains personnel from most of the state and federal agencies that enforce the regulations.
