Corporate Training By Zack Academy - New Proposed EPA Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals Webinar

Why should you take this New Proposed EPA Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals Webinar?

The US Environmental Protection Agency has proposed new flexible rules at 40 CFR 266 Subpart P for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals by healthcare facilities, long-term care facilities, pharmacies, retail stores, and reverse distributors. The new rules will likely ban healthcare facilities from flushing hazardous waste pharmaceuticals down the sink and toilet, thus preventing the flushing of more than 6,400 tons of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals annually.

This New Proposed EPA Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals Webinar will discuss how the EPA's proposed regulations will impact hazardous waste pharmaceutical management; students will consider how the regulations will affect their own work in order to begin preparing for the EPA's actions.
