C-12 EPA Regulation 347
Ontario
Regulation 347 under the Environmental Protection Act has been designed to
ensure that wastes are effectively managed from the point of their generation to
where they are ultimately processed or disposed of. To provide this necessary
control, the regulation includes definitions for different waste types and detailed
requirements for a range of waste management activities. This guideline deals
with one of the major responsibilities for the transportation of municipal waste,
liquid industrial waste or hazardous waste: driver training.
Regulation 347 (see paragraph 9 of subsection 16 (1)) requires that drivers of
vehicles used for the transportation of municipal waste, liquid industrial waste or
hazardous waste be trained in the following five areas:
i. the operation of the vehicle and waste management equipment,
ii. relevant waste management legislation, regulations and guidelines,
iii. major environmental concerns for the waste to be handled,
iv. occupational health and safety concerns for the waste to be handled, and
v. emergency management procedures.
The responsibility for providing driver training rests with operators of companies
involved in the transportation of municipal waste, liquid industrial waste or
hazardous waste.
