Hazardous Waste Operations & Emergency Response (HAZWOPER)
We prefer to train at your site, so employees can learn about their own equipment and how to respond to leaks in their own system; however, we can provide off-site training as needed. Training can be general, or specific to ammonia refrigeration systems or oil spill response.
24-Hour Hazardous Materials Technician
This class satisfies OSHA/WISHA requirements for those who respond offensively to stop a hazardous chemical release. Students successfully completing the class are certified as HAZWOPER Technicians. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, laws and regulation; incident command and notification; hazard recognition, assessment, and communication; respiratory protections; monitoring and instrumentation; PPE/chemical protective clothing; decontamination procedures; confined space hazard and assessment; lockout/tagout; and emergency response plans.
8-Hour First Responder/Operations Level
This class is designed for those who respond defensively to hazardous chemical releases. These employees respond to spills as part of the initial response to protect nearby persons, property or the environment from the effects of the release. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, basic terminology and hazard and risk assessment techniques; selection and use of PPE; basic control, containment and confinement and decontamination procedures; DOT emergency response guidebook; and standard operating and termination procedures.
