The UW-System Office of Safety and Loss Prevention (OSLP) has a developed a Powerpoint presentation entitled "Laboratory Environmental Management". This self-paced training tools provides a wealth of information on the proper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials used in laboratories. To download this program to your computer, click on the link to OSLP above, then click on the link entitled "Environmental Leadership".

The "Campus Consortium for Environmental Excellence" (c2e2) has developed a website entitled "Environmental Virtual Campus". The site is organized around nine typical areas on a campus that are normally subject to environmental regulations. These featured areas include:

• A laboratory
• A central hazardous waste storage area (for generators storing waste for less than ninety days)
• A power/heating plant
• An auto and grounds maintenance area
• A residential area
• A food service area
• A graphic arts/theatre department
• Drains and sewers
• A medical facility

Within each area, content is presented that discusses generally the federal environmental regulations that might commonly apply. In addition, "best practices" are included that cover additional (non-regulated) practices. In some cases the "best practices" and regulatory requirements overlap.
