When hazardous waste is shipped from your site, it must be accompanied by a hazardous waste manifest. Even if your waste transporter fills out the manifest, you are responsible for the portions of the manifest that they complete on your behalf. There are over 35 sections on the manifest and its continuation sheet—are you sure that all of them are completed properly in accordance with EPA’s requirements?

Because the manifest is a Department of Transportation (DOT) hazardous material shipping paper, anyone who fills out or signs the manifest must be trained and tested in the DOT’s required topics: general awareness, function-specific, safety, and security.
