Hazardous Waste Management and Pollution Control

This course prepares environmental and safety practitioners to manage hazardous waste streams responsibly, from generation through storage, transport and final disposal. It covers pollution prevention strategies suited to African regulatory environments, where infrastructure gaps often demand practical, resourceful solutions rather than off the shelf answers. Real scenarios from mining, chemical processing and healthcare facilities anchor the technical content.
