- Discuss the purpose of a site control program and the significance of each element including the site map, work zones, the buddy system, site security, communications, and medical assistance
- Identify measures that contribute to site control within the hierarchy of controls, such as hazard elimination or substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, safe work practices, and personal protective equipment (PPE)

Intended Audience: Any worker who may be involved or expected to engage in hazardous waste cleanup operations where the worker may be exposed to hazardous substances, health hazards, or safety hazards. These cleanup workers include:
- General site workers, such as equipment operators, general laborers, and supervisory personnel;
- Workers on the site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not limited to, groundwater monitoring, land surveying, or geo-physical surveying) and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits; and
- Workers regularly on the site who work in areas which have been monitored and fully characterized indicating that exposures are under permissible exposure limits where respirators are not necessary, and the site characterization indicates that there are no health hazards or the possibility of an emergency developing.
Regs Covered:
