SafetyManager's
"Introduction to HAZWOPER Retraining" HAZWOPER Videotape
Program assists facilities in complying with the employee
training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29
CFR 1910.120), and reminds employees who deal with hazardous
materials of the importance of identifying, evaluating
and controlling chemical hazards. 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.
This
program can be used as the basis for approximately two
hours of classroom training.
