SafetyManager's
"HAZWOPER Emergency Response: HAZMAT Technician Package"
assists facilities in complying with the employee training
requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120),
and helps employees avoid exposure to hazardous materials.
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 materials 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. The Package
of eleven Videotape Programs provides the basis for the
special training required by HAZMAT Technicians, who get
the situation under control during any hazardous materials
emergency. Each Program can be used as the basis for approximately
two hours of classroom training.
