Course Description

Thousands of workers will be involved in the task of cleaning up the existing environmental problems and potential emergencies resulting from many years of inadequate storage and disposal of the nation's hazardous waste. These workers must be properly trained to ensure that their right to a safe and healthful workplace is provided.
