According to Title 40 CFR 265.16, and Title 22 CCR 66265.16 facility personnel in California must successfully complete a program of classroom instruction or on-the-job training (environmental training) that teaches them to perform their duties in a way that assures the facility's compliance with RCRA and Title-22 requirements. Environmental training is required for all persons who work at, or oversee the operations of, a hazardous waste facility, and whose professional actions or failure to act may result in non-compliance. Title-22 applies to California only.

The above also requires that the environmental training be directed by a person trained in hazardous waste management procedures. Employees must be trained within six months of employment or assignment and take part in an annual review after the initial environmental training.
