Course Overview
A procedure for hazardous material and waste handling that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. The cost of an incident involving waste handling lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. Participants gain a realistic view of what this part of occupational health and safety costs and what it returns. The most reliable predictor of sound hazardous material and waste handling is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this area of occupational health and safety hard in practice. It treats waste handling as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It is written for people who have to make hazardous material and waste handling work with the resources they already have. A common pattern is strong design of waste handling paired with weak follow-through. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this part of occupational health and safety rather than a set of notes.
