HAZWOPER: Exposure Monitoring and Medical Surveillance
Course Length: 45 - 60 minutes
High-impact training
covering the essentials of exposure monitoring and medical surveillance
(HAZWOPER).
Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work
situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is
so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous
substances, as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly, they have
mandated that anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive
training in this area.
In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the
handling of hazardous waste. Since then, other regulations have followed,
including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations,
there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an
employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials.
