Emergency incidents are actual or potential spills or releases of hazardous materials into the environment. Because the possibility of damage to people, property and the environment is so serious, prompt and proper emergency response is critical. Training will reduce the chances of harm to people or property. All organizations must plan for emergencies. Depending on operations, formal HAZWOPER emergency response planning may be required and that is covered in this module. This course is ideal for industrial plant and laboratory employees in the United States including maintenance personnel and first responders who are responding to hazardous material incidents.
When elimination and substitution are not possible, our next defense against hazards is engineering controls. Take this course to learn about the purpose of engineering controls and how we use them in hazardous waste operations and emergency response, or HAZWOPER. By applying engineering controls in your workplace, you can protect yourself and your co-workers from chemical, heat and noise hazards. This course is ideal for chemical plant and laboratory employees including maintenance personnel and first responders.
Cuando la eliminación y la sustitución no son posibles, nuestra próxima defensa contra los peligros son los controles de ingeniería. Tome este curso para aprender sobre el propósito de los controles de ingeniería y cómo los usamos en las operaciones de desechos peligrosos y respuesta a emergencias, o HAZWOPER. Con la aplicación de controles de ingeniería en su lugar de trabajo, puede protegerse usted mismo y a sus compañeros de trabajo contra los peligros de productos químicos, calor y ruido. Este curso es ideal para empleados de plantas químicas y laboratorios, incluyendo el personal de mantenimiento y los primeros respondedores.
Due to the nature of their jobs and the protective equipment required, HAZWOPER workers are particularly susceptible to heat stress. Take this course to refresh your memory about types of heat stress. In it, you will learn why HAZWOPER workers are susceptible to heat stress and how to prevent and treat it. This course is ideal for industrial plant and laboratory employees including maintenance personnel and first responders who are responding to hazardous material incidents.
Debido a la índole de sus trabajos y el equipo de protección requerido, los trabajadores de HAZWOPER son particularmente propensos al estrés por calor. Tome este curso para recordar los tipos de estrés por calor. En este curso, aprenderá por qué los trabajadores de HAZWOPER son propensos al estrés por calor y cómo prevenirlo y tratarlo. Este curso es ideal para empleados de plantas industriales y laboratorios, incluyendo el personal de mantenimiento y los primeros respondedores que están respondiendo a incidentes con materiales peligrosos.
You may already be familiar with the hierarchy of controls, but are you aware of how they work together to effectively control the hazards associated with hazardous waste operations and emergency response, or HAZWOPER, activities? Take this course to learn more. This course is ideal for laboratory and industrial plant employees including maintenance personnel and first responders who are responding to hazardous material incidents.
