EPA Reg. 347 C-12 Waste Transportation Driver Training
As described in Regulation 347, the transportation of municipal waste, liquid industrial waste or hazardous waste requires driver training in order to "ensure that wastes are effectively managed from the point of their generation to where they are ultimately processed or disposed of. To provide this necessary control, the regulation includes definitions for different waste types and detailed requirements for a range of waste management activities." Source Ontario's Regulation 351/12, has requirements related to how the training program must be documented for EASR registered systems.
What does this all mean?
Quite simply, you as the driver, must be trained in many aspects of your duties and responsibilities, as well as the functions of your vehicle, and duties surrounding certain issues that may arise. And all of this requires documented information.
