This course is designed to acquaint students with various methods of observation needed to determine the presence of Hazardous Materials in the work place.
(e)(1)(i):
All employees working on site (such as but not limited to equipment operators,
general laborers and others) exposed to hazardous substances, health hazards,
or safety hazards and their supervisors and management responsible for the site
shall receive training meeting the requirements of
this paragraph before they are permitted to engage in hazardous waste operationss
that could expose them to hazardous substances, safety, or health hazards, and
they shall receive review training as specified in this paragraph.
(e)(3)(i):
General site workers (such as equipment operators, general laborers and
supervisory personnel) engaged in hazardous substance removal or other
activities which expose or potentially expose workers to hazardous substances
and health hazards shall receive a minimum of 40
hours of instruction off the site, and a minimum of three days actual field
experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor.
(e)(3)(ii):
Workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not
limited to, ground water monitoring, land surveying, or geophysical surveying)
and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published
exposure limits shall receive a minimum of 24 hours of
instruction off the site, and the minimum of one day actual field experience
under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.
(e)(3)(iii):
Workers regularly on site who work in areas which have been monitored and fully
characterized indicating that exposures are under permissible exposure limits
and published exposure limits where respirators are not necessary, and the
characterization indicates that there are no health hazards or the possibility
of an emergency developing, shall receive a minimum
of 24 hours of instruction off the site, and the minimum of one day actual field
experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.
(e)(3)(iv):
Workers with 24 hours of training who are covered by paragraphs (e)(3)(ii)
and(e)(3)(iii) of this section, and who become general site workers or who are
required to wear respirators, shall have the additional
16 hours and two days of training necessary to total the training specified
in paragraph (e)(3)(i).
This easy-to-read pocketbook gives your drivers fast access to the current regulatory
information they need while hauling hazardous materials. And that can help reduce the
chances of hazardous materials incidents resulting from human error.
Contains hazardous materials regulations as amended by HM-215G, the information your
drivers need to stay in compliance.
Updated monthly, the pocketbook covers identifying hazmat shipments, placarding, loading
and unloading, transport, and specific class requirements. Includes the §171.101
Hazardous Materials Table with a placard column to help drivers easily identify
DOT-required placards, plus the List of Hazardous Substances, the List of Marine
Pollutants, and special provsions.
