Why Should I Attend This Seminar? |
TSP specializes in
meeting the Training Requirements of DOT/EPA/OSHA. Not only will
you receive the required training necessary to comply with DOT/EPA/OSHA
but you will also receive the materials needed for your training to be
successful and complete. Our commitment to you is only beginning at
the close of the seminar. Because of our affiliation with Hazardous
Materials Publishing Co., we are able to help you meet all of your ongoing
compliance needs.

The "Critical Interface" Problem
|
| Compliance may become
clearer when the "INTERFACE" is laid out per the chart. For example,
when one of the 50,000 plus Hazardous Materials is in transportation, it is
subject to the DOT Regulations in 49 CFR. When used in-plant, it now
is subject to the OSHA Regulations in 29 CFR. When it no longer has a
value and will be discarded, it is subject to the joint DOT/EPA/ OSHA
Regulations in 49/40/29 CFRs. If at any time in either of these
three areas, it is released or discharged from its container into the
environment in an "RQ" quantity, and is not recovered, it is now a
Hazardous Substance and is subject to the reporting responsibilities of the
Clean Water Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, and
SARA/Title III. Understanding these interfaces is one of the
objectives of the seminar. |

| About the
Seminars |
| In the
35 years that
the Hazardous Materials and Waste Seminars have been conducted, we have
seen many changes; however, the next few years will have the greatest
increase, not only in hazardous materials, substances, chemicals and waste
regulations, but in more stringent training requirements and increased
penalties. Further, when a company is undergoing a compliance check,
training certification is a requirement of the regulations. And, upon
completion of the seminar, each participant will receive a “Certificate of
Completion” documenting compliance with the regulatory training
requirements.
Certificate of Completion
All participants will receive a “CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION” attesting
that they have attended the DOT/EPA/OSHA mandatory annual and triennial
review of the hazardous materials and waste communications and management
regulations. This document is requested during state and Federal
inspections.

TRAINING, IT’S THE LAW!
|
 |
It is the responsibility of each hazmat employer to ensure that each
hazmat employee is trained.
It is the duty of each person who offers hazardous materials for
transportation to instruct each of his officers, agents, and employees
having any responsibility for preparing hazardous materials for shipment.
(49 CFR, 173.1(b))
Facility personnel must successfully complete a program of classroom
instruction on on-the-job training that teaches them to perform their
duties in a way that ensures the facility’s compliance. Facility personnel
must take part in an annual review of the initial training required in
paragraph above. (40 CFR, 262.34(a)(4) & 265.16 - Personnel Training)
Employees who are trained in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6) shall
receive annual refresher training of sufficient content and duration to
maintain their competencies, or shall demonstrate competency in those areas
at least yearly. (29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6)(i)-Refresher Training)
