HAZWOPER Site Safety and Health Plan Training

If your employees need HAZWOPER Site Safety and Health Plan training, then this course is for you.  As you know, dealing with chemicals in the workplace is a potentially dangerous issue.  Your employees need to understand how to work with those chemicals safely, and more importantly, need to know what to do if something goes wrong. That’s where this HAZWOPER Site Safety and Health Plan training comes in.

This HAZWOPER Site Safety and Health Plan training covers:

• What is a Site Safety and Health plan and what does it include? (this is your company’s written plan of action for working with chemicals within your business. It also details what to do in case of a chemical spill or other emergency)
• What are the goals of a HAZWOPER Site Safety and Health Plan? There are three goals:
  1. Help safeguard the public from the site’s hazards
  2. To protect the environment from chemical hazards or contamination
  3. To reduce the risk of chemical exposure to the employees
• What information is included in the Site Safety and Health Plan? (Things like employee safety orientation, health and safety rules, procedures for working with chemicals and other hazardous materials, information on the emergency response team, what to do if a chemical accident occurs, workplace inspections, a list of all jobs and the hazards for each, and employee training)
• What is medical surveillance? (this is the process for screening employees for any existing medical problems prior to letting them work with chemical or other hazardous materials)

Additional Topics in this HAZWOPER Site Safety & Health Plan Training:

• What is the businesses role in making sure all equipment is in good shape and working properly? (Equipment must be inspected, maintained, and records kept)
• What are “correct work procedures” and what role do they play in a Site Safety and Health Plan? (These procedures detail how to safely do a given job and give guidelines for training, accident investigation, performance evaluation and more)
• What is a job safety analysis or job hazard analysis? (This process allows each job to be broken down into the tasks required, then determining what hazards exist within each of those tasks)
• What is the role of site inspections in the HAZWOPER environment?
• What are the OSHA five levels of certification for people who respond to hazardous waste accidents? These are:

1. First Responder – Awareness Level:  This is for all workers who might witness a leak, spill or accidental release of a hazardous material.  This requires four hours of training.
2. First Responder – Operations Level:  This is for employees who prevent the spill from spreading and to keep others out of the spill area.  This requires a minimum of eight hours of emergency response training
3. First Responder – Hazardous Materials Technician:  Requiring a minimum of 24 hours of training, these employees are responsible for locating the point of release, and plugging, patching or stopping the leak. 
4. First Responder – HAZMAT Specialist: Also required to have 24 hours of training, plus additional training on the chemicals that are used within that specific facility.  The Hazardous Materials Specialist works as a liaison with local, state and federal authorities
5. First Responder – Incident Commander: This is the person with the most authority in a hazmat spill or other accident. In addition to the 24 hours of required training, they also usually receive specialized training to learn how to control an accident scene, and coordinate the entire emergency response operation.
