Impact of new regulations on training programs
Safety and health training is creating a complex and overlapping training environment for all DOE contractors. Requirements stem from a variety of Federal and state regulations such as those from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA, whose training requirements are carried out by OSHA), Hazard Communication Act, and several substance-specific laws. The training requirements of these regulations and the trends toward overlapping the requirements of several laws are reviewed. Environment, safety and health training is offered by the technical staff members in the relevant disciplines and by our multi-discipline training group at ORNL. We are increasing our coordination of all such efforts to develop a more orderly overall program. We identified a team to work toward coordination of required technical training in environment, safety, and health by listing key opportunities for technical training modules and cross-qualification. The strategy for developing the training matrix is outlined. 13 figs.
