Description

The course is intended for employees who may be called on to respond to a spill, leak, or other release at their workplace, including facility and plant personnel, maintenance staff, warehouse and transportation workers, members of in-house emergency response teams, and public sector responders. Training covers hazard and risk assessment, hazardous materials terminology, selection and use of personal protective equipment, control, containment, and confinement techniques, basic decontamination, termination procedures, and reporting requirements to government agencies.

OSHA requires first responders at the operations level to receive at least eight hours of training, or to demonstrate sufficient experience to objectively show competency, in addition to awareness level knowledge. This course provides the training content for that requirement. Employers remain responsible for training employees on their site-specific emergency response plan, equipment, and procedures.
