Louise Water Treatment Facility Page 11 Lathrop, CA April 7, 2017 3.1.2 Release Training LAWTF personnel are trained in release prevention, equipment operation and maintenance, and environmental awareness to prevent and respond to discharges of hazardous materials, both on the job and at recorded monthly safety meetings. Training is documented and maintained for five years. Employees receive prevention training on the following topics: • Points where leaks or spills could occur, • Containers/vessels failures that could result in a spill, • Locations of valves and other equipment and their operational function, and • Preventative maintenance procedures. 3.1.3 Additional Training In addition to OSHA training, facility-response team members are also trained in fire and emergency response. All appropriate LAWTF employees are trained in incipient firefighting and the operation of the field alarm system. Selected LAWTF team members also receive awareness training in the following topics: • Respiratory protection • Hearing conservation • Lockout/tagout • HAZCOM • Confined space • Atmospheric monitors • Fire extinguisher training 3.1.4 Training Records §817.02(t)(2) LAWTF maintains training records for all team members for at least five years, or as long as the individual is assigned to the Response Team, whichever is longer. Records are kept at City Hall and the Maintenance Department. 3.2 Employee Awareness Program Effective emergency prevention and/or response depend on LAWFT employees. Employees must be familiar with hazards in their work place and adjacent work areas. To attain this goal, LAWFT maintains a written hazard communication program (included in CERS reports) detailing the following: • Use of labels and other forms of warning; • Location of and means of distributing material safety data sheets (SDSs); • Employee information and training; • Onsite hazardous chemicals; • Employee warning and information programs regarding hazards of non-routine tasks and hazards associated with chemicals contained in unlabeled pipes, and • Proper use and care of required PPE.
