Field technicians and emergency response personnel are often faced
with the dangers of flammable, combustible, and chemically unstable
materials. Although there are numerous procedures set forth by
regulatory agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) for effectively and safely dealing with such environmental
hazards, up until now there has been no single resource for
training in this area.
Based on the author's twenty-plus years of field experience,
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Manual is a
comprehensive text that covers the complete curriculum requirements
set forth by OSHA and HazWOPER. Highly accessible and broad in
focus, the book is equally useful as a technical resource for
training, a hands-on reference for field operations, and a textbook
for environmental courses in a variety of areas.
Coverage includes: Methods recommended by professional societies
and regulatory agencies including the National Fire Protection
Association, OSHA, EPA, and NIOSH Practical examples and
assignments in each chapter to supplement the text and enhance
usefulness to students
