SafetyManager's
"Exposure Monitoring and Medical Surveillance" HAZWOPER
Compliance Videotape Program assists facilities in complying
with the employee training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER
regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), and discusses various types
of exposure monitoring equipment and techniques. The program
also explains "medical surveillance" and how it is used
to evaluate the health of anyone who regularly works around
Hazardous Materials. Hazardous Materials and Waste are
part of many work situations, and can be found on many
types of job sites. It is so important that employees
know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances,
as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly,
that OSHA mandates 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.
This
