Course Title Course Description
OSHA 8-Hour Annual Refresher - 
Respiratory Protection & HAZWOPER


The HAZWOPER standard governs health and safety for three classifications of workers: emergency responders, hazardous waste operations workers, and TSD workers.  After workers in each classification  have received their basic training, they must receive annual refresher training. This course is designed to meet the qualifications of each category. Subjects taught include the use of the NIOSH pocket guide, DOT guidebook, respirator selection, and recent changes to pertinent regulations. General site workers, supervisors, fire department officials, and safety directors will find this course interesting and informative.

OSHA 24-Hour Emergency Response to Hazardous Materials-Technician Level

This is required training for public or private hazardous materials response teams. 29 CFR 1910.120(q) mandates a minimum of 24 hours of training covering specific training topics. This is designed to bring a responder to the technician level of hazardous materials response. Technicians may perform offensive maneuvers at an emergency scene, such as patching leaks, cleaning up spilled product, etc. Students will learn proper selection and use of personal protective equipment, hazard assessment techniques, air monitoring principles, decontamination, and more. The course is designed for Level “A” response but all levels are covered.

OSHA 40-Hour Hazardous Waste Safety for the General Site Worker

The HAZWOPER standard 29 CFR 1910.120(e) requires 40 hours training off-site and 3 days of field experience in order to work on a hazardous waste site. This course is designed to meet the training requirement. Students will learn proper selection and use of personal protective equipment, hazard assessment techniques, air monitoring principles, decontamination, permit procedures for confined spaces, hazardous properties of chemical wastes, and more. The course is designed for Level “A” response but all levels are covered. This course incorporates several hands-on drills including an outside drill with Level “A” operations at a spill site.

EPA 8-Hour Regulations for Management of Hazardous Wastes


This course is designed to familiarize participants with the regulatory requirements imposed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning disposal and storage of hazardous wastes. This course emphasizes 40 CFR part 262 requirements to include manifesting,  pre-transport requirements,  record keeping and reporting.  Students will receive information on accumulation time and penalties. Topics covered include requirements for large quantity generators,  small quantity generators and conditionally exempt small quantity generators.

OSHA 30-Hour Safety for General Industry

A 3-day course covering OSHA safety regulations applicable to General Industry.  Subjects covered include fall protection, machine guarding, electrical hazards, chemical hazards, powered industrial trucks, personal protective equipment, and other subjects.  For groups it can be tailored to your needs.  Helps meet "Competent Person" requirements.

Presented by OSHA certified "Outreach Program" trainers.  In addition to the normal 8 x 10 certificate, each student receives a wallet-size training certificate from OSHA Training Institute.

 

OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety

OSHA 29 CFR 1926 requires a “Competent Person” on a construction-site.  This person must be competent in the phases of construction currently underway. A “Competent Person” is someone who has the training and experience needed to recognize safety and health hazards and the authority to take immediate corrective action. This 3-day course is packed with information on all phases of construction. Subjects covered include fall protection, scaffolding, electrical hazards, chemical hazards, cranes, forklifts, trenching and others.  

OSHA 16-Hour Confined 
Space Rescue

While a confined space entry is in progress, rescuers are required to be available to respond in a timely manner. Fire departments cannot fill that function. They are not a “stand by” organization. In addition, they might not have the specialized rescue equipment needed for extrication from your spaces; or it is possible they are not trained in confined space rescue procedures. OSHA encourages on-site rescue teams since they are more familiar with your spaces and can effect a more timely rescue. This course teaches basic rescue techniques, use of the necessary equipment for horizontal and vertical rescues, patient packaging, spine immobilization, litter basket rescue, mechanical advantage haul systems, supplied air respiratory protection, rapid patient access, along with other procedures. he second day incorporates four different rescue scenarios using our confined space simulator that can be towed to your site.

Respirator Fit Testing

Respirator Fit Testing is offered on the third day of our OSHA 24-Hour Emergency Response course during the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.  Advance registration is required.  Qualitative only is offered.
Registrants must bring the following:
Proof of Medical Evaluation
Organic Vapor Cartridges
Respirator
This testing meets the requirements of 29CFR 1910.134

OSHA 8-Hour Incident Command

In responding to HAZMAT incidents the "Incident Command System" is mandated by 29 CFR 1910.120 (q).
Emergencies of all kinds require an informed and competent individual in charge.  An Incident Commander is not only required to have 24 hours of training equal to the operations level, but also must have additional knowledge and skills as described in par. (q)(6)(v).  This course is designed to familiarize commanders with management terminology and procedures used by emergency responders from the public and private sector.  Establishing command, designating sectors, and coordinating private sector resources with public safety agencies will lead to safe and efficient handling of emergencies of all kinds.  This course offers an opportunity to learn from experienced instructors.

OSHA 8-Hour Confined Space Entry

29 CFR 1910.146 requires documented training for confined space workers. Anyone serving  as entrant, attendant, supervisor, or rescuer must be trained to a level of proficiency with the duties they are to perform. This course covers the regulatory requirements to include the written program, principles of atmospheric monitoring, permit procedures, ventilation, flushing, space isolation, and other procedures. Included are two hands-on drills using our simulator (Trailer).  One drill involves a horizontal entry and another involves a vertical entry with a tripod and harnesses. This course is recommended for supervisors, entrants and attendants. This course does not cover rescue however, rescuers are required to be trained as entrants.
