Hazardous Spills Training – [Complete Video Course Kit]

If you need to train your employees on spill clean-up, this training video is for you! Sometimes accidents happen. There’s no way around that, but how you handle chemical and other hazardous material spills can make the difference between a minor mistake and a major disaster. This HAZMAT Spill Clean-Up Safety Video will train workers on handling hazardous spills properly.

This Hazardous Spills Training Covers the Following Topics:

Your employees will learn how to reduce damage, clean up materials, and reduce the chances of injury during the entire process. It’s a must-have for any employees who work with oil solvents, chemicals, and other hazardous materials. The training video covers several important concepts:

• How to read and interpret the Safety Data Sheets or SDS for chemicals found in your workplace
• What is a Hazard Communication Program, and what should it include?
• What to do in case of a hazardous spill, including:
  • Evacuation protocol and guidelines in the event of a hazardous spill
  • The use of Personal Protective Equipment
  • Decontaminations procedures
  • and more
• What are the five levels of employees who deal with HAZMAT spills? (An Incident Commander, First Responder Awareness level, First Responder Operations level, hazardous materials technician, and hazardous materials specialist)
• What is a “Spill Response Team,” and what are the responsibilities of each member?
• Are large chemical spills handled differently than small chemical spills?

Additional Topics In This Spill Training Course:

• What is “diking”, and how does it help employees prevent the spread of a hazardous material spill?
• What are some common diking materials? (Absorbent socks, flexible plastic barriers, and more)
• What is an Emergency Action Plan, and what should it include about spill clean-up?
• What is an emergency response team, and how do they handle chemical spill cleanups?
• What does OSHA say about hazardous chemicals spilled and their subsequent emergency response and cleanup?
• What are the different types of direct-reading instruments that are used to detect hazardous materials? (combustible gas monitors used to detect airborne contaminants, disposable detector tubes that change color in the presence of certain chemicals, and field survey meters that are used to detect atomic radiation)
• How are sorbents and absorbents used in the cleanup of a hazardous materials spill?

This Spill Response Training Also Discusses:

• How to decontaminate and dispose of a HAZMAT spill?
• What is a “chemically inert” sorbent, and when are they used?
• How to use a spill blanket when dealing with hazardous substances
• What should employees do if they spot chemicals leaking into a drain?
• After the spill is cleaned up, what potential hazards might exist when disposing of this now hazardous waste? (An example would be a risk of fire if the chemical being cleaned up is flammable.  Also, most liquids conduct electricity, so any spill clean-up could receive an electrical shock if a power source is contacted. Safe disposal of these substances in OSHA-approved containers is very important)
• What is a Contamination Reduction Corridor or CRC?
• and much more

Providing your employees with training on what to do in case of spills is valuable to both employer and employee alike. This Spill Response Training will help your employees understand what to do in case of a chemical spill.
