Right-To-Know Law

To communicate information concerning toxic and hazardous substances to employees and community residents who have been, are or may be exposed to toxic or hazardous substances in or around a workplace.

The number one question that I get is who should be included in this training the answer is everyone. It's every employee's right to know what the daily hazards are and how to protect themselves from them.

We design personalized services to meet the needs of your company to keep you safe and in compliance.

Today's HAZWOPER training in process.

Under the HAZWOPER standard, any employee who might be called on to respond, or who has the potential to respond, to an emergency needs training. Just how much training depends on what the employee is expected to do? In Section Q of the standard, OSHA has divided the training requirements into five separate levels that are linked to the specific duties of individual employees.
For example, the first training level addresses the simplest observe-and-report function that employees may be expected to fulfill. Ultimately, training progresses toward the more complex duties of stopping the spill, cleaning it up, and disposing of the hazardous waste.

Five Training Levels are outlined in the regulation. For certain Industries we have customized a program to meet their specific needs only. In doing so, the following areas of training are covered: Awareness Level - Observe and report & First Responder Operations Level - Containing a leak or spill. It includes testing and certification of completion.
