Hazmat Training Comes to Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge, LA, May 17, 2016 --(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 Baton Rouge at the Hilton Garden Inn − Baton Rouge Airport, June 7−9, 2016.

Hazardous Waste Management: The Complete Course will be presented on June 7 and 8.

Hazardous Materials Certification Training for DOT 49 CFR Transportation Regulations will be held on June 9 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 35th 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.
