SafetyManager's
"HAZMAT Labeling" HAZWOPER Videotape Program assists facilities
in complying with the employee training requirements of
OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), and instructs
employees who deal with hazardous materials that they
can reduce the risk of accidental exposure by using the
correct labels and placards on each chemical container.
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.
