4D. TRAINING <br /> PG&E has two complementary training programs that address the proper handling and <br /> management of hazardous materials and wastes at Company facilities. The training <br /> programs meet the employee training requirements of both federal and state <br /> regulations as they apply to Hazardous Waste Contingency Plans (40 CFR 265 and CAC <br /> Title 22) and Hazardous Materials Business Plans (CAC Title 14) . <br /> 1. Hazardous Materials Use and Handlin : <br /> In accordance with California Title 8 "Worker Right-to-Know" requirements and <br /> the provisions of Title 14 of the California Administrative Code (AB 2185) , <br /> PG&E's Safety, Health and Claims Department oversees training on hazardous <br /> materials in use at Company facilities.. <br /> Employees in each department or facility receive "Right to Know" instruction <br /> and additional training on specific substances or classes of toxic or <br /> hazardous chemicals they use. "Right to Know" instruction is given by the <br /> supervisor or by the Safety Engineering Representative. Training on specific <br /> toxic or hazardous chemicals is given by the Safety Engineering <br /> Representative, an Industrial Hygienist, or other technically qualified <br /> personnel who, because of education, training, or experience, understand the <br /> health risks and necessary safety precautions associated with each toxic or <br /> hazardous substance. Supervisors document both types of training by <br /> maintaining a signed training roster. <br /> 2 . Hazardous Waste Management: <br /> PG&E's hazardous waste management training program provides consistent <br /> company-wide guidance on proper handling of hazardous materials and wastes. <br /> Each facility determines which employees need this training in relation to <br /> their job duties. <br /> The training modules include an eight- to fifteen-minute videotape <br /> presentation, a question and answer session, optional classroom exercises, <br /> and a self-paced examination. The training modules in this program include: <br /> 1. Introduction to Hazardous Waste Management <br /> 2. Hazardous Waste Identification <br /> 3. Hazardous Waste Storage Areas <br /> 4. Hazardous Waste Packaging and Labeling <br /> 5. Hazardous Waste Manifests <br /> 6. Hazardous Waste Transportation <br /> 7 . Emergency Response <br /> 4-12 <br />
