This online course addresses required topics per 29 CFR 1910.120 (e), site worker initial requirements.
Who needs this training? This training is required for individuals who respond to releases or potential releases for the purpose of stopping the release. They assume a more aggressive role than a first responder at the operations level in that they will approach the point of release in order to plug, patch or otherwise stop the release of a hazardous substance. This training is also required if a worker is required to work on a “hazardous waste site”, as defined in 29 CFR 1910.120 (a)(3).
