Description

The management of toxic substances in the United States is governed by a complex web of laws designed to protect environmental health and worker safety. This CPD-accredited program offers an in-depth exploration of these mandates, ensuring that your facility remains in total compliance with current federal and state requirements. We examine the scientific basis for risk assessment, focusing on how mercury behaves in various physical states and the specific pathways through which it can threaten environmental health.

Furthermore, we address the documentation and reporting necessary for ongoing compliance, highlighting how a well-executed risk assessment can streamline regulatory audits and protect an organization’s reputation.

As the industry evolves, the strategies used to safeguard environmental health must also adapt to new scientific findings and legislative updates.
