Heat Stress
HAZWOPER Video Program assists facilities in complying with the employee
training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120),
and helps employees understand the need to guard against heat-related
illnesses and what steps they can take to protect themselves in their
work environments. 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.
Areas covered in the program include how the body reacts
to heat, the role of fluids and minerals, preventing heat-related illnesses,
Heat Rash, Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke, recognizing symptoms, first
aid, acclimatization, and more. The Video Program comes with a comprehensive
Leader's Guide, reproducible Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee
Quiz, Training Log and Training Certificate. The program can be used as
the basis for approximately two hours of classroom training.
