Target Audience
Anfeald’s Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) First Responder Awareness Initial and Refresher course, HAZ 900, is for learners who are likely to discover a hazardous materials release and must notify emergency responders, but will not participate in defensive or offensive operations, nor will they have exposure to chemical hazards beyond what they ordinarily experience during their day-to-day work.
Summary
This course prepares learners to identify a chemical release, notify appropriate company personnel, notify the authorities, and keep others safe before help arrives. This is the minimum level of HAZWOPER training available. It applies whenever the employer stores and uses chemicals and when personnel may discover a release but not perform any defensive, mitigative, or cleanup work. It covers basic emergency response procedures.
