More About the Online Course Update

The California Generator Improvements Rule tutorial handout clearly lays out crucial information about regulatory changes that affect the requirements for:

  • Hazardous waste generator status
  • Satellite accumulation
  • Accumulation rules for small and large quantity generators
  • Notifications and reports for small and large quantity generators
  • Emergency preparedness and contingency planning
The four-page PDF Tutorial summarizes new generator responsibilities related to hazardous waste containers, container labels, emergency preparedness, site notifications, and more. It also includes a Finding Aid to help EH&S pros locate key requirements in the re-organized Title 22 hazardous waste regulations.  

What is the “California Generator Improvements Rule”?

In 2024, California substantially revised the state hazardous waste laws and regulations, adopting new and stricter requirements from a US EPA Final Rule called the Generator Improvements Rule. That Federal rule took effect May 30, 2017.

California’s new and revised hazardous waste regulations are in effect as of July 1, 2024.

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided pertinent information above and beyond the questions that were asked.

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

More thorough than a class I attended last year through another company.

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.

We have a very busy work schedule and using Lion enables us to take the course at our own time. It makes it easy for me to schedule my employees' training.
