  • Module 2: Planning and Organization

    The organizational structure of a hazardous waste site is important because it determines how tasks are assigned and how communication flows. The site safety and health plan is important because it outlines the procedures that will be used to protect workers from hazards. The organizational structure of a hazardous waste site will vary depending on the size and complexity of the site. However, there are some common elements that are found in all organizational structures.

Answer:

The 40 Hour HAZWOPER certification is required for workers who are involved in handling hazardous waste operations and emergency response. This includes, but is not limited to, employees involved in cleaning up hazardous waste sites, handling and disposing of hazardous waste, and responding to spills of hazardous materials.

  • Workers who handle contaminated waste, soil, water, etc.
  • Workers who handle tanks which store/treat and pipes which pump in/out contaminated waste.
  • Workers who may work near sites which release contaminated waste.
  • Workers who may work near sites which are contaminated such as hazardous waste treatment plants.
  • Clean-up operations crews of hazardous waste sites.
  • Workers who work with emergency response team which handle or may be exposed to contaminated substances.
  • Workers who work at a listed or proposed for listing site under the Superfund National Priority List (NPL).
