Personal Protective
Equipment -HAZWOPER Video Program assists facilities in complying
with the employee training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation
(29 CFR 1910.120), and helps instruct employees on the selection and use
of personal protective equipment (such as chemical protective clothing
and respirators) in environments where hazardous materials are present.
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 Video Program includes information on the roles
of Personal Protective Equipment, Level A Personal Protective Equipment,
Level B Personal Protective Equipment, Level C Personal Protective Equipment,
Level D Personal Protective Equipment, PPE and Heat Stress, and more.
The Videotape 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.
