About The Training
OVERVIEW
Contamination may arise as a result of human activities on the environment discuss the overwhelming pollution caused by human activities, which can be prevented and controlled. All the business sectors, from large industry, and healthcare to small businesses, and farm households contribute to generating hazardous waste. Contamination can occur in several forms such as ground and surface water, soil, air, radioactive, food, noise, mold, odors, construction, and vibration. etc. Pollution that is not handled properly and professionally will always be a health problem and a bad influence on the environment. That’s why, every business and company should take care of their environment and give extra attention to their waste management and pollution. By having the proper waste management and pollution the companies or industries might contribute to preventing and reducing the generation of hazardous waste by industry and society generally, maximizing the collection of hazardous waste to reduce the environmental and health impacts of any unregulated waste, striving for increased self-sufficiency in the management of hazardous waste and to minimize hazardous waste export, minimize the environmental, health, social and economic impacts of hazardous waste generation and management.
This training is addressed to provide further knowledge about the types of contaminants, the latest issue of contamination, and how to eliminate or minimize these contaminants. In addition, the use of alternative non-hazardous products in the company's effective, and environmentally friendly method of disposal for hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
