SafetyManager's
"Personal Protective Equipment and Decontamination Procedures"
HAZWOPER Videotape Program assists facilities in complying
with the employee training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER
regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), and instructs employees
on the appropriate use of personal protective equipment
(such as chemical protective clothing) as well as how
to remove contaminants that accumulate on clothing and
equipment. 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
