The State of California’s Department of Toxic Substances and Control (DTSC) expanded the definition of Universal Waste to include seven classes of waste. This course details how California facilities must deal with the Universal Wastes they generate.

Thoroughly training employees on each aspect of the Universal Waste Rule (Title 40 CFR 273), this course enables your facility to adopt and uphold the Universal Waste Rule standards.
