What Drove This?
![Page 7: Michael Hampton CSP, ARM University of Utah, RMCOEH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649c6d5503460f9491fa22/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Who’s minding the store?• 5 distinct groups of workers are
covered• Can be grouped into 3 “task” groups:• Workers involved in waste clean up• Employees working at a TSDF• Employees engaged in emergency
response operations for release of, or substantial threats of release of, hazardous substances.
Are my employees covered?
![Page 8: Michael Hampton CSP, ARM University of Utah, RMCOEH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649c6d5503460f9491fa22/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You are working for an environmental consulting company and your client tells you that the property they own is on EPA's NPL, the state has issued them a Notice of Violation, and they want you to tell them what's on the property and what's going to have to be done to clean it up. This action is covered under sections (i) & (ii) if under RCRA.
"You want to be a good neighbor, and the regulators are telling you that your site is an uncontrolled hazardous waste site, but they haven't given you a Notice of Violation or a Compliance order -– that's covered by section (iii). If they give you the NOV, then you would be covered by either section (i) or (ii), depending on how the Notice was written.
Section (iv) covers only those locations that have been permitted as TSDFs.
"Everyone else who has a spill, release, or cleanup not covered by any of the above is covered by section (v). This also includes manufacturing plants that have teams to handle their spills or releases."
Application in the “real world”…

Employee Training
![Page 12: Michael Hampton CSP, ARM University of Utah, RMCOEH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649c6d5503460f9491fa22/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• Occasional Site Worker – 24 hours of classroom instruction plus one day supervised field experience
• Management and Supervisor – Trained to the level of the employees being supervised plus an additional 8-hours of specialized training
• Refresher training – Eight hours of annual refresher training. As discussed above, the annual refresher should be tailored to the specific duties and not a “one size fits all”.
Training Requirements – Waste Site Workers
![Page 13: Michael Hampton CSP, ARM University of Utah, RMCOEH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649c6d5503460f9491fa22/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Operations at TSDF• Provide for the safe conduct of work
around hazardous waste/materials • 24 hours and 8 hour annual refresher
• Emergency Responders• First Responder Awareness level• First Responder Operations level• HazMat Technician/HazMat Specialist• Incident Commander
Training Requirements – Task based
![Page 14: Michael Hampton CSP, ARM University of Utah, RMCOEH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649c6d5503460f9491fa22/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• FR – Awareness
• Sees a spill and reports it, no time requirement
• FR - Operations• All the above and attempts to contain spread but not
to stop the leak, 8 hours minimum
• Technician/Specialist• Offensive action to stop the leak, 24 hours at FRO level +
standards requirements
• Incident Commander• Overall control and charge of the situation, 24 hours at
FRO level + standards requirements
• Refresher training for above must be annual and sufficient to maintain and demonstrate competency
Emergency Response
![Page 15: Michael Hampton CSP, ARM University of Utah, RMCOEH](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649c6d5503460f9491fa22/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Understanding Hazwoper can be confusing
• Hazwoper applies to most of us
• Determine what the employee is doing• Hazardous Waste Site Worker – 1910.120(e)• TSDF Worker – 1910.120(p)• Emergency Responder – 1910.120(q)
• Train according to the requirements
• Ensure that your documented program meets the standards criteria
