Hazardous Material/Hazardous waste Coordinator

I am certified as a Hazardous Material/Hazardous waste coordinator. I learned about compatibilities and

more importantly incompatibilities.  Proper stowage is essential to maintain a safe storage area. Some HM

I or II. Temperature control is also a factor on storing HAZMAT.
