Be Prepared: The Emergency Response Plan

Understand how emergency planning can reduce potential exposure to hazardous materials in crisis situations. Your emergency response plan can help your facilities comply with HAZWOPER regulations (29 CFR 1910.120). As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee’s specific level of involvement with hazardous materials. Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations and can be found on many types of job sites. Microlearning topics covered: the purpose of an emergency response plan, the chain of command, responsibilities of the incident commander, responsibilities of the HAZMAT specialist, responsibilities of the HAZMAT technician, responsibilities of the first responder, personal protective equipment, and more.
