Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete guide to OSHA training requirements for hazardous wastecleanup professionals Love Canal, Times Beach, Bhopal--these and other industry-relatedenvironmental disasters provided the impetus for present-dayregulations governing cleanup of hazardous waste sites and thehealth and safety training of workers engaged in these operations.This manual addresses the 1986 amendments to Congress's "Superfund"act (known as SARA) and the growth industry in hazardous wasteremediation that emerged as a result. Specifically, it deals withthe OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120 that requires all businesses withhazardous waste operations--and all remediation contractors--totrain their staffs on a regular basis, stressing training formanagers, supervisors, scientists, and engineers. Covering all training topics mandated by OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120,this comprehensive guide * Conforms point by point to OSHA's 40-hour off-site trainingrequirement for site professionals, managers, and supervisors * Includes field-tested, practical instructional material, based onthe author's own successful 40-hour courses at the University ofWisconsin extension program that has trained more than one thousandenvironmental professionals since 1986 * Addresses the entire spectrum of health and safety issues,including health risks associated with specific chemicals and safehandling of hazardous materials * Demonstrates the correct use of protective gear and how to followsafe work practices * Discusses the continually changing regulatory and enforcementclimate that governs the removal of hazards from waste sites * And much more The text of choice for any hazardous site operations trainingprogram, whether taught in universities, government agencies, orindustry, Hazardous Waste Site Operations is an excellent guide forinstructors, an invaluable reference for students, and a usefulresource for professionals in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OSHA 3114-07R, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. The dumping of hazardous substances poses a significant threat to the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data show that over 18 million tons of hazardous substances covered by TRI were disposed of or released into the environment from 1998 through 2004. Hazardous substances are a serious safety and health problem that continues to endanger human and animal life and environmental quality. Discarded hazardous substances that are toxic, flammable, or corrosive can cause fires, explosions, and pollution of air, water, and land. Unless hazardous substances are properly treated, stored, or disposed of, they will continue to do great harm to living things that contact them, now and in the future. Because of the seriousness of the safety and health hazards related to hazardous waste operations and emergency response, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued its Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard, Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1910, 120 and 1926.65 (see 54 Federal Register 9294-9336, March 6, 1989) to protect employees in this environment and to help them handle hazardous substances safely and effectively. The HAZWOPER standard for the construction industry, 29 CFR 1926.65, is identical to 29 CFR 1910.120. For brevity, the HAZWOPER standard is referenced as 1910.120 throughout this publication. The HAZWOPER standard covers all employers performing the following three general categories of work operations: Hazardous waste site cleanup operations [paragraphs (b)-(o)] (e.g., SUPERFUND cleanup), operations involving hazardous waste that are conducted at treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities [paragraph (p)] (e.g., landfill that accepts hazardous waste), and Emergency response operations involving hazardous substance releases [paragraph (q)] (e.g., chemical spill at a manufacturing plant). An understanding of how each of these sections are different from each other and what they apply to is essential to ensure compliance with the appropriate section of HAZWOPER. The scope and application [paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2)] sections of the standard define these work operations and indicate what sections of the standard they fall under. State, county, and municipal employees, including hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility employees, and first responders, such as fire and rescue personnel, police, and medical personnel, are covered by HAZWOPER and other regulations issued by the 26 states and territories operating their own OSHA-approved safety and health programs. EPA HAZWOPER regulations cover these employees in states without OSHA-approved state plans. The EPA adopted the HAZWOPER standard at 40 CFR Par 311 for public employees (either compensated or non-compensated) who perform operations within the scope of the standard in states that do not have an OSHA-approved state plan. This booklet provides an overview of the HAZWOPER requirements for each type of work operation and explains each section separately to provide a clearer understanding of the standard. Having this understanding enables employers to protect the health and safety of their employees in these different environments.

This book was released on 2006-02-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field technicians and emergency response personnel are often faced with the dangers of flammable, combustible, and chemically unstable materials. Although there are numerous procedures set forth by regulatory agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for effectively and safely dealing with such environmental hazards, up until now there has been no single resource for training in this area.
