We did a self audit about three or four years ago. My area is considered a small waste storage area and yes there is required training. In New Hampshire, we can get that training through the state.

But our inspection happened because we needed to switch from a conditionally exempt small quantity generator to a small quantitiy generator and we then needed to register with the state, etc. They primarily focused on our waste streams and what chemicals were in the lab. I'm not at work right now, but I'll check tomorrow to see if I have anything that I can share with you.

It came up in a safety meeting that I should have training and competencies (beyond general safety training and PPE) for pouring xylene from staining dishes and processors into accumulation containers.
