SafetyManager's
"Confined Space Entry" HAZWOPER Videotape Program assists
facilities in complying with the employee training requirements
of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), and helps
employees understand how to reduce or eliminate potential
exposure to hazardous materials in their confined space
work environments. 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.
This program can be used as the basis for approximately
two hours of classroom training.
