In compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation, this 8-hour first responder operations level training is to certify individuals who will be involved with Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). HAZWOPER first responders at the operations level are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release. They are trained to respond defensively without trying to stop the release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures. First responders at the operational level shall have received at least eight hours of training. Specifically, here are the regulatory citations from 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.120 section q. and 1910.120(q)(6)(ii)(A) Knowledge of the basic hazard and risk assessment techniques. 1910.120(q)(6)(ii)(B) Know how to select and use proper personal protective equipment provided to the first responder operational level. 1910.120(q)(6)(ii)(D) Know how to perform basic control, containment, and/or confinement operations within the capabilities of the resources and personal protective equipment available with their unit. 1910.120(q)(6)(ii)(E) Know how to implement basic decontamination procedures. 1910.120(q)(6)(ii)(F) An understanding of the relevant standard operating procedures and termination procedures.
