An Orientation to Pollution Prevention for Facility Design training course was developed for the US Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management, Waste Minimization Division. The 3-hour course will be offered at the Hanford Quality Training and Resource Center beginning Summer, 1994. The course, intended for design engineers and project managers, contains two modules. The first module defines pollution prevention using actual success stories to illustrate pollution prevention concepts, benefits, and their relationship to design. The second module presents a newly developed job aid, the Pollution Prevention Design Guideline. The main challenges of developing the course were to present the material in a manner that participants would want to design for pollution prevention, and provide tools so that participants could design for pollution prevention. As such, the course is very interactive and uses a variety of presentation techniques. Participants are challenged to discuss the course materials in the context of their own design projects, and they practice using their new knowledge on an actual design project. The biggest measure of the course`s success is the extent to which the participants bring the materials back to their work place. An attitudinal survey and a knowledge-based questionnaire are administered before and after the course in order to gage this.
