Federal, State and University regulations require appropriate training, and annual retraining, of all persons involved with the identification, production, collection, handling or disposal of Hazardous Chemicals.
- Since you have reached this page, you are either directly or indirectly responsible for the proper handling of Hazardous Waste Chemicals from a specific area of the campus.
- This retraining page is for the typical University employee who oversees an area where hazardous materials are used, and disposal of these materials is ultimately required.
Do I need Retraining?
- I do not work with hazardous chemicals.
- No, you do not need this retraining.
- I am an UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT, or

- I am a GRADUATE INSTRUCTOR, or
- I am a TEACHING ASSISTANT, and
- I work with hazardous materials.

employees of a distinct organization that leases space from the University. As a student or
teaching assistant, you are highly supervised in your work, and you are learning how to
work with hazardous materials. You are not authorized to determine when materials that
belong to the University are no longer needed. You may work with hazardous
materials, you may collect and pour materials into containers and you may have other
students do the same for you, but you are not able to declare a material excess, out of
specification or waste. Your teachers and Instructors will tell you what to do.

their absence.
