Accidental Release Measures And Spill Cleanup Procedures
"Accidental Release Measures and Spill Cleanup Procedures" HAZWOPER Compliance Training Program discusses the plans and procedures necessary to safely contain and cleanup a hazardous materials spill. Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive training in this area. In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste "from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials. Areas covered in the program include the hazard communication program, the emergency response plan, the five levels of HAZWOPER emergency response training, personal protective equipment, site characterization, spill cleanup, decontamination procedures, and more The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.... and is approximately two hours of classroom training.
