HAZWOPER: Written HAZWOPER Plans & Programs
The menace of hazardous waste is an ongoing issue that poses significant threats to humans, animals, and the overall environment. Amidst this, workers who undertake the task of cleaning up the hazardous waste sites are exposed to various safety and health hazards. In response to this, OSHA has instituted the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard to safeguard these workers during the cleanup process and to ensure the efficient and safe disposal of the waste. This necessitates detailed planning to execute hazardous waste cleanup operations safely. Irrespective of the scale of the operation, meticulous pre-planning is vital for your health and safety. Even scenarios involving emergency spills require planning. The documentation of plans or programs highlights the measures your employer is taking for your protection. Our HAZWOPER training course is formulated to concentrate on the plans and programs that are obligatory before commencing any work at a hazardous waste cleanup site. These include the exhaustive Safety and Health Program, Site-Specific Safety and Health Plan, Emergency Response Plan, and programs for personal protective equipment (PPE), site control, medical surveillance, spill containment, information, and new technology. The course also briefly addresses a few other related programs.
