40 Hour HAZWOPER

About this Event

Because of the seriousness of the safety and health hazards related to hazardous waste operations and emergency response, OSHA issued the HAZWOPER standards 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65.

The HAZWOPER standard for the construction industry, 29 CFR 1926.65, is identical to 29 CFR 1910.120.

• A written, readily accessible safety and health program that identifies, evaluates and controls safety and health hazards and provides for emergency response.

• A preliminary site evaluation conducted by a qualified person to identify potential site hazards and to aid in the selection of appropriate employee protection methods.

• A site control program to protect employees against hazardous contamination. At a minimum it must have a site map, site work zones, site communications, safe work practices, the use of a “buddy system,” and identification of the nearest medical aid.

• Employee training for everyone working on a hazardous waste site.

• Medical surveillance of workers exposed at or above permissible exposure limits for hazardous substances, conducted (1) at least annually, (2) when a worker moves to a new worksite, (3) when a worker experiences exposure from unexpected or emergency releases and (4) at the end of employment.
