Hello! 👋 This #EffectiveCommunicationsMonth, we wanted to remind our fellow #Californians that we are listening; #communication is a 2-way street! We are committed to protecting people & the environment from exposure to hazardous waste by investigating & enforcing hazardous waste laws & regulations. #California laws & regulations pertaining to handling, storage & management of #HazardousWaste are the most stringent in the country. It’s crucial that facilities adhere to the laws & regulations to protect people & the environment from #toxic harm. So, #LinkedIn audience, we ask… 👀 If you see something, do your part / help us out & say something! 👁🗨 We take all allegations seriously & routinely inspect facilities subject to the Hazardous Waste Control Law (i.e. Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities, Universal Waste Collection Facilities, etc.) to ensure they adhere to the rules designed to protect our people & communities.
