APP/SSHP Soil Excavation at California National Guard Armory Lodi, California 5.0 TRAINING 5.1 INTRODUCTION OTIE requires that all employees involved with the management of hazardous materials have a thorough knowledge of potential occupational hazards. In addition, all employees are specifically trained in proper work procedures and how to eliminate or mitigate potential exposure (i.e., OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency [HAZWOPER] 40-hour training and an 8-hour refresher). As stated previously in Section 2, Appendix F includes the basic training certificates for field personnel. Certificates are also available on request. OTIE personnel are required to attend frequent, formal training sessions during their entire employment with the company. The following outline represents the corporate-mandated training that is required of all personnel and subcontractors working on a construction/ remediation project. 5.2 BASIC SAFETY TRAINING Personnel are required to attend an initial 40-hour classroom training session, meeting requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65, focusing on chemical and physical hazards when projects are associated with hazardous waste operations and emergency response. Other training subjects include proper work procedures, hazard communication, hearing conservation, PPE, respiratory protection, and first aid/CPR and the 10-hour OSHA Construction Safety training for designated individuals. Heavy equipment operators are also given training on the equipment they are to be operating on the project. Additionally, all employees working on site have a minimum of three days actual field experience under the direction of a skilled supervisor. This is documented and certified on the APP and SSHP Compliance Agreement Forms by the employee and the SSHO. 5.2.1 Refresher Training Regular 8-hour refresher training in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65 is provided to employees annually. 5.2.2 Supervisory Training All supervisory personnel will have attended an 8-hour supervisor's course in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65 when projects deal with hazardous materials. 5.2.3 Safety-Orientation Briefing All OTIE employees and subcontractors who perform field work during the project will be required to read this SSHP and acknowledge receipt and understanding of this SSHP.
