Course Description
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). It covers the standard and scope of HAZWOPER and relevant OSHA regulations, including 29 CFR 1910.120; the elements of an effective health and safety program, planning and implementation; the chemical, biological, and physical hazards in hazardous waste operations; the risks associated with hazardous substances; the types, selection criteria, proper use and maintenance of PPE; and the hazardous waste sites, preliminary assessment and site inspection.
Further, the course will also discuss the chemical properties, toxicology, and exposure routes; the techniques and tools for air monitoring, including direct-reading instruments and sampling methods; the respiratory protection, decontamination procedure and site control; the methods and best practices for handling, storage, and transportation; the techniques for safe drum handling, sampling methods, and considerations; the emergency response plans for hazardous waste operations; and the techniques and equipment used for containing spills of hazardous substances.
During this interactive course, participants will learn to manage the incidents involving unidentified hazardous substances; the ICS structure, roles, and responsibilities in emergency response; the hazardous waste and strategies for minimizing waste generation; the environmental laws and regulations, remediation technologies and water and soil decontamination; the EPCRA requirements and the importance of community awareness and preparedness; the health effects of exposure to hazardous substances; the elements of a medical surveillance program for workers exposed to hazardous substances; managing stress during emergency response operations and preventing heat and cold stress in hazardous waste operations; and the safety procedures and regulations for working in confined spaces.
