SFH210 Hazwoper For Clean Up Operations

Hazwoper For Clean Up Operations

DESCRIPTION: The course provides information on the classification, detection, and monitoring of hazardous materials and the use of personal protective equipment and safety practices. A large portion will be hands-on exercises and simulations. The Environmental Protection Agency in 40 CFR 311.1 extended OSHA coverage to state government employees. Other references include 29 CFR 1910.120(e), RCRA and CERCLA.

Due to the nature of the activities in this class, it can not be held at the TxDOT facilities. Beards are prohibited because beards hinder the proper wear of respirators.
