OSHA 24-Hour Emergency Response to Hazardous Materials
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.
