Frequently Asked Questions
It explains that people who work with biological materials may also work with or around hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials, which become waste too.
The course identifies biohazardous, or medical, waste as the obvious answer when biological materials are involved in a job.
Ideal learners are workers who may be exposed to biohazardous waste, particularly those whose jobs involve producing it from biological materials.
Because biological work frequently overlaps with chemical and radioactive materials, the course frames waste handling as a mixed-hazard question rather than one category alone.
It opens by asking what types of hazardous waste a worker handling biological materials might produce, framing the training around that practical concern.
If you work with biological materials, it is quite possible that you will produce hazardous waste. What types of hazardous waste might you produce? The obvious answer is biohazardous, or medical, waste. But if you are like a lot of people who work with biological materials, you may also work with or around other hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials, which wind up as waste too. Ideal learners are workers who may be exposed to biohazardous waste.
