SafetyManager's
"Understanding HAZWOPER" HAZWOPER Videotape Program assists
facilities in complying with the employee training requirements
of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), explains
the regulations, and helps employees reduce or eliminate
potential exposure to hazardous materials in their work
environments. 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
program can be used as the basis for approximately two
