The Institute of Waste Management of Southern Africa (IWMSA) is hosting a three-day Hazardous Waste Management Training programme from 10 – 12 November 2015 at Plastics|SA in Midrand.

The training programme has been updated to include the new Waste Classification & Management Regulations. The course also includes a written knowledge test. The improved learner manual allows for more interactive sessions to determine if the candidates understand the contents of the material.

Organisers now exclude Waste Legislation in the Hazardous Waste Management Training course as they offer a one-day Legislation Course with more learner activities, giving more time to all topics covered by both courses.
