HAZWOPER: Safety Orientation

Employees working with or near hazardous materials are at risk for a number of personal injuries and illnesses. Training is paramount to protecting your workers and your business. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has created standards to address the occupational risks of HAZMAT workers. This Video On Demand training aligns with OSHA's standards as it emphasizes mental awareness, physical safety, and appropriate response.

While this course is entitled “Safety Orientation,” it isn't just for your new crew members. Even our most seasoned employees need a refresher course to keep safety at the top of mind. Safety precautions must be taken 100% of the time in a hazardous waste environment. The course teaches employees how to avoid bad mental habits, combat complacency and understand one's physical limitations.

This course goes beyond discussing proper equipment and safety assessment to addressing the most important barrier to safety: employee attitudes. Use this online video training to help make safety every employee's first priority.

This course has been updated to include GHS container labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for GHS compliance.
