Conference ·
OSTI ID:5587950

A number of laws and regulations dealing with hazardous materials control must be implemented in developing and implementing adequate training programs for DOE facilities. Some of the newest and most comprehensive are the requirements included in the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), as implemented by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Specific provisions exist for initial and review training of employees engaged in hazardous waste operations that could expose them to safety and health hazards. This presentation will outline how the Environmental Compliance and Health Protection Technical Resources and Training Program, working with other ORNL groups in environmental compliance, health protection, and waste operations, establishes the specific training requirements and implements a full range of courses designed to meet ORNL needs. It will focus on course development and implementation strategies. 13 refs.
