SafetyManager's
"The ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet" HAZWOPER Videotape
Program assists facilities in complying with the employee
training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29
CFR 1910.120), and helps instruct employees about the
ANSI MSDS format and reviews how the information in an
MSDS can help them work safely with potentially hazardous
chemicals.
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.
The Program can be used as the basis for approximately
two hours of classroom training.
