Marcom Respiratory Protection Hazwoper Dvd

Description

Overview Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these materials receive comprehensive training in this area. In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste "from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials. MARCOM's training products on "HAZWOPER: Respiratory Protection" help employees understand how the use of respiratory protection can help to reduce or eliminate potential exposure to hazardous materials in their work environments. Topics covered in these products include: When respirators are needed. Basic types of respirators. Classifications of respirator filters. Supplied Air Respirators (SARs). Self-Contained Breathing Apparatuses (SCBAs). Proper fit-testing of respirators. Cleaning and maintenance of respirators. and more.
