ROGERS JOSEPH O'DON•LL • <br /> www.rjo.tom <br /> Michelle Henry <br /> July 3, 2012 <br /> Page 3 <br /> 6. Training (Violation #703, 810, 811) <br /> Walgreen's employees with hazardous waste responsibilities have been trained <br /> and have completed a program of online power point training at store level. This proprietary <br /> and confidential training program provides the employees with specific information about <br /> hazardous waste characterization and handling, including use of spill kits, as well as a step <br /> by step explanation of how to perform these obligations. Directives and enhanced hazardous <br /> waste training programs have been issued to all California stores to ensure that employees <br /> are thoroughly familiar with waste handling and emergency procedures relevant to their <br /> responsibility during normal operations and during emergencies. We had previously <br /> submitted a copy of certain of Walgreen's program materials to the San Joaquin District <br /> Attorney, David Irey, and the State Coordinating District Attorney, Matt MacLear, to show <br /> that all stores are operating under consistent and compliant procedures, and request that they <br /> be maintained as "Confidential and Proprietary Business Information and Trade Secrets" <br /> pursuant to Civil Code §3426.1 et seq., Health and Safety Code §25173, 22 CCR 66260.2 <br /> and Gov. Code §11183. Employees were specifically trained on Walgreen's policy <br /> regarding leaking containers, identifying incompatible waste, characterizing waste, and <br /> universal waste. Three managers-in-training at this Walgreen location have completed the <br /> enhanced hazardous waste training program. The concerns raised in the Report were <br /> addressed, and Walgreen store #10482 is in compliance. <br /> Walgreen has worked diligently to ensure that each store fully complies with <br /> all applicable hazardous waste laws and continually seeks ways to build on these efforts. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Walter S.
