What the rules require

The EPA hazardous waste generator rules (40 CFR Part 262) require large quantity generators to have a formal training program (262.17(a)(7)) and small quantity generators to make sure employees are thoroughly familiar with the proper waste handling and emergency procedures (262.16(b)(9)(iii)). Very small quantity generators have no formal training rule unless they accumulate more than the limits.
