How are operators handling the 2026 PSAI training updates?

Ray M.asked 1 viewRental OperatorsPsaiDriver trainingIndustry standardsTrainingVacuum truck

I just got the latest bulletin from the PSAI about the training updates coming in 2026. The changes cover everything from new waste disposal protocols to updated safety procedures for drivers handling the vacuum truck. They're pushing for more formal certification, especially on the environmental side.

I've been running my routes for over fifteen years, and the rules keep getting tighter. My drivers need to know how to handle everything from a standard unit on a muddy construction site to a deluxe unit at a weekend wedding. The new standards seem to focus a lot on documentation and spill response.

How are other operators starting to prep for this? Are you updating your driver manuals now, or waiting for the final modules? What's the biggest cost you're seeing for the retraining?

We're updating our driver manuals now to align with the 2026 PSAI training updates, focusing on waste disposal protocols and vacuum truck safety. The new standards require formal certification, especially for environmental compliance and spill response. My drivers handle everything from a standard unit on muddy sites to a deluxe unit at events, so training covers all unit types and scenarios.

The biggest cost for retraining is driver time off the road and the new documentation systems. We're adding modules on proper waste disposal and handling spills, which means more detailed logs per service visit. It's a hassle, but it beats fines. We're not waiting for the final modules; we're prepping now to avoid last-minute chaos.
