The
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency
Response Standard (HAZWOPER) applies
to five distinct groups of employers
and their employees. This includes any
employees who are exposed or potentially
exposed to hazardous substances-- including
hazardous waste--and who are engaged
in one of the following operations as
specified by 1910.120(a)(1)(i-v) and
1926.65(a)(1)(i-v):
Clean-up operations--required by a governmental
body, whether federal, state, local,
or other involving hazardous substances--
that are conducted at uncontrolled hazardous
waste sites; corrective actions involving
clean-up operations at sites covered
by the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended (42 U.S.C.
6901 et seq.);
Voluntary clean-up operations at sites
recognized by federal, state, local,
or other governmental body as uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites;
Operations involving hazardous wastes
that are conducted at treatment, storage,
and disposal facilities regulated by
Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations
Parts 264 and 265 pursuant to RCRA,
or by agencies under agreement with
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
to implement RCRA regulations;
Emergency response operations for releases
of, or substantial threats of release
of, hazardous substances regardless
of the location of the hazard.
Examples of the above would be individuals
involved in the following: Removal or
handling of underground tanks and/or
piping, contaminated soil and/or groundwater,
subsurface investigations, construction
work in which hazardous materials may
potentially be present, encountered,
prepared, packaged, labeled, marked,
stored, shipped for disposal, and for
any facility wherein hazardous wastes
are treated, stored, or disposed. Personnel
who are involved in the above disciplines
are required to have initial and recurrent
training.

Outline |
HAZWOPER
(HAZardous Waste OPerations and Emergency
Response) is at the intersection of
three Federal regulatory agencies
(EPA, OSHA, DOT) and includes several
career fields (science, technology,
engineering, medicine, toxicology,
law, psychology, organizational management,
loss prevention, QA/QC, construction,
waste management, etc.).
The two main objectives
of HAZWOPER Operations are to:
1. Control or eliminate the potential
hazards and/or losses.
2. Protect the health and safety of
workers, the public, and the environment.
NWE’s
40-Hour Online Course meets OSHA requirements
for training of personnel engaged
in hazardous waste operations as outlined
in 29 CFR 1910.120, including removal
or handling of underground tanks and/or
piping, contaminated soil and/or groundwater,
subsurface investigations, construction
work in which hazardous materials
may potentially be present, encountered,
prepared, packaged, labeled, marked,
stored, shipped for disposal, or any
facility wherein hazardous wastes
are treated, stored, or disposed.
The
purpose of this course is to ensure
awareness and promote safety among
employees who may be exposed to chemical
hazards in the work-site. The objective
is to ensure that employees operate
in the safest possible manner in situations
where contact with potentially hazardous
materials is likely.
At
the conclusion of this class, students
will:
Understand how hazardous materials
are handled, identified, and human
responses to exposure
Learn the importance of the Health
and Safety Plan (HASP)
Incorporate the knowledge of what
to do in case of site emergencies
Use appropriate safety methods and
work practice controls
Recognize signs and labels that are
used to alert personnel of danger
involving hazardous material
