To: All maintenance personnel From: Jeff ong 1/13/97 cc: Bob Hancock, Bill Mortola, Bob Cartwright Subject: HAZARDOUS MATERIAL TRAINING REQUIREMENTS Based on an inspection 12/6/96 by the County Health Department, Hazardous Materials Division, we will need to form lize all training in hazardous materials training. There is nothing new, the training will involve general handling procedures which are suppose to be followed at present. Any specific handling of hazardous material under emergency conditions involving acutely hazardous materials, chlorine, ammonia, S02 would require specific training and the involvement of outside regulatory agencies. The present training done at the plant for these instances are as follows: Personnel Job Title 40 hour 1 st responder Incident Command Bob Hancock Prod. Mgr. - X - Jeff Wong Prod. Mgr. X - - John C. Johnson Mechanic X X X Ozzie Cruz Mechanic X X X Larry Konvalen Mechanic X X - Mercy Ramirez Mechanic X X - Bob Rose Mechanic - X - I) DEFINITIONS OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMS a) 40 ho ir trainin : This is a requirement by regulatory agencies if any person is involN ed with handling extremely hazardous materials or waste, proper identification and disposal of hazardous materials and emergency response to hazar ous material spills. There is also a 8 hour refresher required each year for the p ple who have completed the 40 hour training. This training is not neces ary in handling"hazardous materials" which do not pose a threat and are a part of everyday work handling to a degree, example: used oil is classified as hazardous waste but is handled readily by mechanics. However, training is requir d on how we handle the used oil, oil filters, used coolant and sorbent pads, where we dispose of them, and how to identify the proper containers being used for disposal.
