The first century of the industrial revolution produced a legacy of dangerous trash, which the government and environmental specialists are attempting to clean up. This initiative is led by hazardous materials and trash technicians. 

On-site hazardous waste technicians are employed. Others work in a hazardous materials facility, also known as a hazmat facility. They carry out a range of responsibilities there, including hazardous waste transportation, treatment, and storage. 

To obtain a hazardous waste worker certificate, hazardous waste technicians must have particular and extensive training. Completion of an EPA-approved course, annual updates, and medical supervision supplied by the company are all required. They are taught meticulous methods to preserve worker health and community safety. 

In this sector, a high school graduation or equivalent is required. More advanced equipment, complex procedures, and scientific techniques may necessitate additional knowledge. Hazmat technicians that are adaptable to new jobs and procedures should be able to raise their salaries and advance to management positions. 

Above all, the hazmat technician understands that he or she is contributing to a cleaner world for future generations.
