What is a Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan?

A contingency plan is basically the entire "backup process" you have in place in the event of an accident involving your generated hazardous material. This encompasses both the business-specific system your company has devised, as well as the subsequent written document for training and informing your employees about that protocol.

Everyone who generates hazardous waste is legally obligated to create a Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan irrespective of your EPA generator status and what state the waste is generated (this is a federal mandate)
