HAZWOPER Work Practices and Engineering Controls
Video Program
Work Practices
and Engineering Controls" 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 nature
and the "behavior" of hazardous chemicals, and 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. 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 HAZMAT work practices,
HAZMAT engineering controls, The Site Safety and Health Plan, responsibilities
of the Site Safety and Health Officer, ventilation systems, remote-controlled
equipment, the use of eyewash stations, and more. The Video Program
comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide, reproducible Scheduling &
Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training Log and Training Certificate.
This program can be used as the basis for approximately two hours of classroom
training.
