Consultant Captain John Hosty -- a well-known HazMat specialist in Canada and contributing editor to HazMat Management magazine -- is hosting two environmental training courses in the Toronto area in May 2012.
The first course, entitled “Spill Response: Responding to low threat spills”, will show participants how to address spills that present a low level of risk to responding personnel.
Participants will learn, among other things:
-how to properly size up an incident and determine if it is safe to manage
-how to select and use proper personal protective equipment
-when “spills” are reportable and to whom.
Registration for the course, which will take place on May 9, 2012, is $475 plus HST.
The second course, entitled “Transportation of Dangerous Goods & Hazardous Waste Management”, will show those who are new to this field how to comply with regulations.
TDG topics include Classification of Dangerous Goods, Labelling and Placarding, and Packaging Requirements.
Waste Management topics include Ontario Regulations 347, 461 and 558, Waste Class Codes, and Land Disposal and Storage Restrictions.
Registration for this course, which will take place on May 10 and 11, 2012, is $895 plus HST.
