Hazardous wastes are regulated by the federal government under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In addition, California has its own laws that govern both RCRA and non-RCRA wastes—including waste oil—which makes compliance particularly difficult for California businesses.

Additionally, while incorrectly characterizing your waste can jeopardize your compliance and put you at risk for six-figure or seven-figure penalties, these mistakes could also be costing your company money off the bottom line. For a variety of reasons, it makes sense to make sure that you're getting it right.

Join us for an in-depth webinar that will help you prepare your company for the new year. Be sure to bring along your management team to learn the specifics and set a course for your company's compliance strategy. You'll learn:

• The key differences between the state and federal rules
• New regulatory and legislative changes you need to know about
• Step-by-step regulatory compliance tips for both the Cal/OSHA and federal OSHA rules
• Why accurate identification and classification of waste is critical in understanding your responsibilities in storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal
• Training requirements as mandated by the state of California and the federal Department of Transportation
• Cost-saving tips for correctly classifying wastes the first time around
