MMUA is pleased to offer the 2018 PCB Management & Record-keeping Workshop. This program is one of few available that specifically focuses on the topic of managing PCBs and PCB items.
This program includes active discussion and a variety of real life examples that participants will work through. In addition to our instructor, Mark Pennell, a representative from Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will be on hand to offer insight and answer questions. Plus, each participant will receive a PCB Management reference manual with numerous sample forms and templates.
This workshop can benefit individuals responsible for PCB management at all levels of experience. Those who have recently been assigned PCB management responsibilities from a predecessor will find the class to be especially helpful.
Space is limited so register today!
