There are two primary uses for this manual: 1) to supplement the current Florida aviation
maintenance curriculum with a hazardous waste/pollution prevention component and 2) to allow
for hazardous waste/pollution prevention continuing education opportunities for certified aviation
mechanics and affiliated management. The manual is divided into 13 Chapters designed to
teach key hazardous waste concepts as they relate to the aviation industry. Chapters 1 through
6 discuss general hazardous waste concepts such as defining hazardous waste, hazardous waste
regulatory agencies, identifying hazardous waste and proper hazardous waste handling (from
labeling to disposal). Chapters 7 through 13 identify hazardous waste associated with aviation
maintenance and provide waste minimization alternatives and proactive pollution prevention
practices.
