hazardous waste regulations

Hazardous waste regulations are laws that control the handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of dangerous waste materials to protect health and the environment. They require companies to identify hazardous wastes, prevent leaks or spills, and dispose of wastes properly. These rules also include requirements for proper labeling, record-keeping, and training. The goal is to minimize risks from toxic, corrosive, or flammable substances, ensuring waste is managed safely throughout its lifecycle and reducing potential harm to people and ecosystems.
