OSHA's HAZWOPER: Emergency Haz Waste Spill Response Plans

OSHA created the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) regulation to help keep employees safe while responding to chemical spills, working at hazardous waste sites or performing operations at Transportation, Storage and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs). Under HAZWOPER general requirements, facilities that produce and store haz waste need to have a written plan that documents how they’ll respond to emergency spills (including identifying spill-prone areas, customizing plans of action, documenting possible scenarios, detailing the steps for response and outlining employee responsibilities). Here you’ll find products that can be incorporated into written plans for emergency response to spills of hazardous waste – and help you comply.
