Training provided for Department of Energy (DOE) workers includes Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER), 10 CFR 851 Final Rule A and Radiation Worker courses. HAZWOPER courses are also available for other non-DOE workers who handle, store, recover and process hazardous materials.
HAZWOPER
The USWTMC offers HAZWOPER 40-, 24- and eight-hour courses.
The 40-hour course is specifically designed to meet the requirements in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120.
OSHA CFR 1910.120 is for workers who are involved in clean-up operations, voluntary clean-up operations, emergency response operations, and storage, disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. The 24-hour course covers broad issues pertaining to the hazard recognition at work sites. OSHA developed the HAZWOPER requirements to provide workers with the important information they need to work at and around the hazardous sites, and also devised extensive regulations to ensure their safety and health. The eight-hour course is designed to meet the requirements in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 for annual refresher training, for workers who may be assigned the work mentioned above.
Hazardous Disaster Preparedness (HDP) training focuses on emergency response and control.
The USWTMC supports a cadre of Specialized Emergency Response Trainers, or SERTs. The SERTs respond in the face of natural or manmade disasters in order to provide health, safety and environmental training to those who are affected by the disasters.
HDP training provided by the USWTMC also includes Infectious Diseases at Work, or other material through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) such as Mold Clean-Up and Treatment: Health and Safety Essentials for Workers, Volunteers and Homeowners.
Hazardous Waste Worker (HWW) training covers hazard recognition and control. For example, courses like Hazard Mapping and Incident Investigation. Some courses such as Hazard Mapping are not only available in English, but in Spanish also.
HWW training also includes Process Safety Management (PSM).
