SHORT INTRODUCTION

This course outlines the importance of having a Waste Recycling and Management program in the workplace in addition to understanding the concept of waste recycling.
This course helps to raise both personal and public awareness of environmental issues including the benefits of reducing, re-using, and recycling of general environmental waste materials.
These materials would otherwise be taken to landfill sites where they contribute greatly to environmental issues and encourage pollution in various forms. The course helps its attendants identify items which can be recycled through a recycling management program.

AIM OF THE COURSE

To provide the candidate with an initial understanding of an introduction to a waste management plan, to identify the components of the environment, and to respond to questions regarding interrelationships within the context of their industry.
For the candidate to recognise the impacts of events and human activities on the environment and gather information relating to environmental impacts. This allows the candidate to report results and take appropriate action to address such impacts.
To equip the candidate with the fundamentals of identifying and classifying individuals involved in the Environmental Waste Management program.
This will provide effective waste recycling mechanisms to work towards a shared zero waste future, increase education relating to reduce, re-use, and recycle, and minimize environmental impacts.
This course provides both formal and informal methods of Environmental Waste Management which will focus on waste recycling steps. It will also outline the benefits of an Environmental Waste Management training program in the form of:

  • Classroom-based learning
  • Online or eLearning, and
  • Daily or weekly toolbox talks relating to the waste recycling program.

COURSE OUTCOME

Upon completion of this course, the candidate will be able to understand and demonstrate, through achieving integrated waste management planning, reliable information on waste streams.

The candidate will, after the completion of this course be able to:

  • Set in place, and identify, a sound budget and financial management system for waste services.
  • Provide adequate staffing and the capacity for waste management.
  • Put in place an effective compliance structure and enforce waste regulations.
