Nov 15

Your Health is Your GREATEST WEALTH!

HAZWOPER training is required for any workers in the USA who engage in remediation cleanup, emergency response scenarios, or execute corrective protocols that consist of the uncontrolled release of substances that are considered hazardous on any level.

This year in 2022, Hazard Communication Standard was ranked as the second most frequently cited OSHA standard. While this differs a bit from the Hazwoper subject, they are alike in some ways.

Hazardous chemical exposures have the potential to create numerous safety and health consequences. Some situations can be toxic and end up in fatalities, and some common injuries from incidents include chemical burns, explosions, and fires.

There are many different types of positions within organizations that OSHA enforces HAZWOPER training for, here are some examples:

Solid Waste Management Treatment Laborers
Chemical Processing Plant Technicians
Chemical Processing Plant General Workers
Chemical Manufacturing Plant Operators or Equipment Operators
Chemical Manufacturing Managers, Supervisors, or Safety Personnel
Waste Water Treatment Laborers
All on-site supervisors, managers, leads, and directors for wastewater treatment facilities
Technicians for Hazardous materials
Hazardous materials Handlers or Specialists
On-scene incident personnel or commanders
Certain types of surveyors including Geophysical or surveyors that have to be on-site with areas of chemical processing or chemical treatment manufacturing

HAZWOPER, HAZMAT, AND HAZCOM training is truly a necessity for…

Toxic substances that have high concentrations
Any risk of potential injury or fatality
Imminent Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) environments
An atmosphere with low levels of ventilation such as confined spaces where the oxygen levels aren’t suitable for workers to breathe and work in
Working scenarios that have safety hazards such as chances of fire or chemical explosions
Areas that have the potential to be in situations that call for immediate evacuations or priority attention to consistently or regularly protect the employees working in or around the site

While there are many online on-demand options for these types of emergencies, most business owners and individuals prefer to take these classes in person. It is such a serious matter that calls for hands-on training that is designed to be memorable, engaging, and easy to understand.
