This course is designed for persons who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release. It will equip them to perform their role as First Responders at the Awareness Level by notifying proper authorities and activating the Organization's Emergency Response Plan. This course will also train persons who may respond to a release in a limited role (i.e., contain the release, keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures). This training will exceed the requirements for OSHA's First Responder, Awareness Level and comply with the 29 CFR 19610.120 requirements for First Responder, Operations Level. 1910.120 (q) (6) (i) The first responders at the awareness level are individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence by notifying the proper authorities of the release. 1910.120 (q) (6) (ii) The first responder at the operations level are individuals who respond to release or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release. They are trained to respond in a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures. 0.800 Continuing Education Units 8.000 Lecture hours Levels: Continuing Education Schedule Types: Lecture Continuing Education College Continuing Education Department Course Attributes: CEU Career Development, Supplemental Course
