2026 EH&S Training Starter Kit

Posted on 1/1/2025 by Lion Technology Inc.

Environmental, health, and safety regulations underwent dramatic changes last year, with more major updates on the way from US DOT, EPA, and OSHA in 2026.

Effective hazmat, RCRA, and OSHA training is key to a safe, productive workplace every year, especially when new and revised rules, restrictions, and deadlines impact day-to-day activities at your site like storing hazardous waste, shipping hazardous materials, and pollution control and reporting.

Details you need for 2026 include:

US and international requirements for training and re-training "hazmat employees."
US EPA's RCRA hazardous waste rules for initial and refresher training for generators.
The most common OSHA workplace health and safety violations of 2025.

Hazmat & RCRA Training Cheat Sheets

The 49 CFR Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR), the IATA DGR, the IMDG Code, and the RCRA hazardous waste regulations all contain requirements for employee training and keeping records of training. These standards for employers specify time limits for initial training and re-training, details to include in employees' training records, and rules for record retention.
