Trade instructional materials for SARA/OSHA training: Volume 1: General site worker training

Technical Report · Sun May 01 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:7064224

This document is the first in a new line of TRADE resources designed to provide DOE and contractor training personnel with the tools needed to meet steadily increasing training requirements. The interim final rule, 29 CFR 1910.120, issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in compliance with the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), requires that workers at operations involving hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal receive 24 hours of training describing techniques for worker protection and the health effects of hazardous materials. The training requirements in the proposed rule published on August 10, 1987, are substantially the same as those in the interim final rule. The training required by this rule is different from training required by the Environmental Protection Agency through the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) which deals with procedures for handling waste materials. The SARA/OSHA training focuses on informing workers about the health hazards within their facilities and how to minimize them. The instructional materials in this volume were originally developed by the Technical Resources and Training Program Staff at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to provide 24 hours of initial training to hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility workers as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. ORNL determined that these materials met the criteria for the 24 hour training requirement after an extensive needs analysis of related regulations and their application to the hazardous waste sites within the laboratory.
