Hazardous Waste Generators LQG

Workers can use Hazardous Waste Generators LQG to strengthen the knowledge and judgment needed on the job. Key outcomes include the ability to describe appropriately label, contain and inspect waste, increase awareness to mitigate emergencies, like runoff and poisoning, and explain the correct ways to handle and treat solid wastes. The material also helps learners reduce and minimize the amount of waste a generator produces. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.

FAQs

Who needs hazardous waste training at a large quantity generator?

Hazardous waste training at a large quantity generator is for employees who handle, label, store, inspect or ship hazardous waste. That often includes production, maintenance, environmental and warehouse staff, plus emergency coordinators. The 19-minute video is available in English, Spanish and French.

Which EPA regulation requires LQG hazardous waste training?

EPA's RCRA rules require large quantity generators to train hazardous waste personnel. The generator standards at 40 CFR 262.17 point to the training requirements in 40 CFR 265.16. Training must cover waste handling and emergency procedures relevant to each employee's job. Authorized states may impose stricter rules.

How often is hazardous waste training required for large quantity generators?

Large quantity generator employees must complete hazardous waste training within six months of starting a waste-handling job and cannot work unsupervised until trained. After that, LQGs must provide an annual review. Training records must be kept until closure for current employees and three years for former ones.

What makes a facility a large quantity generator of hazardous waste?

A facility is a large quantity generator if it generates 1,000 kilograms (about 2,200 pounds) or more of hazardous waste in a calendar month. Generating more than 1 kilogram of acute hazardous waste in a month also triggers LQG status. Generator status can change from month to month.

How long can a large quantity generator store hazardous waste on site?

A large quantity generator can store hazardous waste on site for up to 90 days without a storage permit. Containers must be closed, marked "Hazardous Waste" with the hazards and accumulation start date, and inspected weekly. The 2014 video predates EPA's 2016 Generator Improvements Rule, so confirm current labeling details.
