OSHA Hazardous Waste Site Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER)
Hazardous Waste Site Operations Course in Calgary, Alberta
This is a 24 hour or 40 hour course that covers broad issues pertaining to the hazard recognition at work sites. This course identifies different types of hazards, as well as suggests possible precautions and protective measures to reduce or eliminate hazards at the workplace.
While no specific regulation in Canada currently addresses the training of workers involved with environmental contamination and clean-up, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Regulation 29 CFR 1910.120 is considered the standard for due diligence and is referenced under Provincial duty of care/general duty clauses.
