4D. TRAINING <br /> PG&E has two complementary training programs that address the proper handling <br /> and management of hazardous materials and wastes at Company facilities. The <br /> training programs meet the employee training requirements of both federal and <br /> state regulations as they apply to Hazardous waste Contingency Plans (40 CFR 265 <br /> and CRC Title 22) and Hazardous Materials Business Plans (CAC Title 19) . <br /> 1 . Hazardous Materials Use and Handling: <br /> In accordance with California Title 8 "Worker Right-to-Know" requirements <br /> and the provisions of Title 19 of the California Administrative Code <br /> (AB 2185) , PG&E's Safety, Health and Claims Department oversees training on <br /> hazardous materials in use at Company facilities. <br /> Employees in each department or facility receive "Right to Know" <br /> instruction and additional training on specific substances or classes of <br /> toxic or hazardous chemicals they use. "Right to Know" instruction is <br /> given by the supervisor or by the Safety Engineering Representative. <br /> Training on specific toxic or hazardous chemicals is given by the Safety <br /> Engineering Representative, an Industrial Hygienist, or other technically <br /> qualified personnel who, because of education, training, or experience, <br /> understand the health risks and necessary safety precautions associated <br /> with each toxic or hazardous substance. Supervisors document both types of <br /> training by 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 <br /> wastes. Each facility determines which employees need this training in <br /> relation to 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 <br /> 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 />
