This National Certificate recognises the skills and knowledge of people working in operations roles in the hazardous waste industry. The holder of this qualification is able to process and dispose of hazardous wastes.

The compulsory section recognises knowledge and skills in managing health and safety relating to containing, storing, and disposing of hazardous wastes at a hazardous waste facility.

In acknowledgement of the diversity of operations in the hazardous waste industry, the elective section enables candidates to select knowledge and skills that cover specific operations, essential knowledge and skills that underpin those operations, and competencies that may be required in some employment contexts.
