HAZWOPER Personal Protective Equipment Safety Training Video

This safety video program on HAZWOPER Personal Protective Equipment, designed to help facilities comply with OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), instructs employees on the selection and use of personal protective equipment (like chemical protective clothing and respirators) in environments where hazardous materials are present.

Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive training in this area.

In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste from cradle to grave. Since then other regulations have followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials.

Areas covered in the safety video program include:

• roles of personal protective equipment,
• Level A personal protective equipment,
• Level B personal protective equipment,
• Level C personal protective equipment,
• Level D personal protective equipment,
• PPE and heat stress, and more.
  

The safety video program comes with a quiz, a scheduling and attendance form, a training certificate, and an employee training log.
