RCRA – The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), addresses the problem of how to safely manage hazardous waste. Registration is required for Treating, Storing, Transporting, Disposing and Generating hazardous waste. Congress wrote RCRA to achieve three primary goals: 1) protection of human health and the environment; 2) reduction of waste and conservation of energy and natural resources; and 3) reduction or elimination of the generation of hazardous waste as expeditiously as possible. RCRA also required that training must be given to all employees that work with or near hazardous waste, be relevant to the employees’ positions, and be completed within six months of the employees’ date of employment.
