Note – there is an expectation that delegates will already have thorough knowledge of the use and importance of the List of Wastes (EWC) codes and have had training on the assessment process including hazardous substances and hazardous properties
This course is aimed at anyone with existing knowledge and understanding of hazardous waste and its classification and coding but needs to apply it to and cover the specifics relating to waste soils.
You might be a waste consultant, contaminated land contractor/ specialist, construction waste specialist, Landfill operator or carrier/ broker specialising in contaminated soils, or anyone who manages waste soils and needs to ensure they are managed legally and safely.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, you will:
Understand the definition of hazardous waste and stepwise process for classification and assessment – with respect to the assessment of soil and excavation wastes
Have a thorough working knowledge of using Technical Guidance WM3
Be able to carry out the worst-case compound calculations for metals
Understand the assessment of oil contaminated wastes – including the assessment of unknown oils
Apply the knowledge to assessment of soils – and understand the common issues and challenges with assessment and interpreting laboratory reports
