Site Safety and Health Plan - Program Contents

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 "from cradle to grave".  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. 

"HAZWOPER: The Site Safety and Health Plan" discusses various types of "medical surveillance" and how it is used to evaluate the health of anyone who regularly works around hazardous materials.  Areas covered in the program include:

● Plan Guidelines and Goals. 

● Medical Surveillance. 

● Job Hazard Analysis. 

● The Five Levels of Training and Responsibilities for HAZMAT Emergency Responders. 

● Site Evaluation. 

● Personal Protective Equipment. 

● Spill Cleanup Procedures. 

● Decontamination. 

● and more!
