Working with hazardous materials and waste is common in many industries, and these substances can be found in a variety of facilities. Recognizing the potential dangers and knowing how to handle and dispose of them properly is so crucial that OSHA mandates comprehensive training for anyone involved with these materials.
Back in 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to oversee the management of hazardous waste “from cradle to grave.” Since then, additional regulations, including OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.120 (better known as HAZWOPER), have been established. HAZWOPER outlines specific training requirements based on how employees interact with hazardous materials.
Atlantic Training’s HAZWOPER Annual Retraining Series is designed to refresh your team’s understanding of the HAZWOPER regulations. This series is perfect for meeting the eight hours of annual retraining required by OSHA. The series includes four key programs:
- Introduction to HAZWOPER Retraining
- HAZWOPER: Understanding Chemical Hazards
- HAZWOPER: Personal Protective Equipment and Decontamination Procedures
- HAZWOPER: Exposure Monitoring and Medical Surveillance
These programs provide the essential knowledge to help keep your workplace safe and compliant with OSHA standards.
