Chicago, IL - HAZMAT Compliance Seminars

THIS SEMINAR IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON A MINIMUM BUMBER OF REGISTRANTS. Please check your email a week before the event for any final details. Thank you.

Including the OSHA and DOT International Harmonization Requirements ANY Person Engaged in ANY Activity Involving Hazardous Materials and Waste MUST Successfully Complete an Annual/Triennial Training & Testing Program

Federal law requires all persons engaged in any activity involving hazardous materials, substances, chemicals, and waste to complete an updated training program on the Federal regulations requiring compliance.

THE “Critical Interface” PROBLEM
Compliance may become clearer when the “INTERFACE” is laid out as per the chart. For example, when one of the 50,000 plus Hazardous Materials is in transportation, it is subject to the DOT Regulations in 49 CFR. When used in-plant, it now is subject to the OSHA Regulations in 29 CFR. When it no longer has a value and will be discarded, it is subject to the joint DOT/EPA/OSHA Regulations in 49/ 40/29 CFRs.

If, at any time in either of these three areas, it is released or discharged from its container into the environment in an “RQ” quantity, and is not recovered, it is now a Hazardous Substance and is subject to the reporting responsibilities of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, and SARA/Title III. Understanding these interfaces is one of the objectives of the seminar.

The Training is designed to meet the requirements for:
TRANSPORTATION – HAZMAT EMPLOYEES
U.S. & State Departments of Transportation (Section 172.700, 49 CFR)
State and Federal DOT regulations require each shipper, generator, carrier, and transporter to instruct and test all company officials, employees, or agents on the applicable hazardous materials regulations pertaining to their job functions and contact with hazardous materials and substances on a triennial basis.

ENVIRONMENT –ﾠ HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATORS
U.S. & State Environmental Protection Agencies (Part 262, 262.14, 262.25, 262.16, 262.17, and 265.16, 40 CFR)

State and Federal EPA regulations require each generator and owner/operator of a TSD Facility to ensure that all employees engaged in any activity involving hazardous waste complete a training program on the applicable DOT, OSHA, and EPA regulations. This requirement must be carried out on an annual basis
WORKER PROTECTION – HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE & CHEMICAL WORKERS
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (Sections 1910.120, 1910.1200, 29 CFR)

Protect your employees who are exposed to hazardous chemicals and substances in the workplace. That's why this seminar includes the First Responder Awareness level certification for hazmat employees in the event of a hazardous substance release; and annual training.

Managers and company personnel are responsible for compliance with the DOT/EPA/OSHA regulations for hazardous materials, substances, chemicals or waste.
Managers and company personnel who must instruct others on applicable DOT/EPA/OSHA regulations.
Company hazmat and waste employees need the required initial or annual update training.
