4D. TRAINING <br />PG&E has two complimentary 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 <br />CCR Title 22) and Hazardous Materials Business Plans (CCR Title 19). <br />1. Hazardous Materials Use and Handling: <br />In accordance with California Title 8 "Worker Right -to -Know" requirements and <br />the provisions of Title 19 of the California Code of Regulations (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 and <br />additional training on specific substances or classes of toxic or hazardous <br />chemicals they use. "Right to Know" instruction is given by the supervisor or by <br />the Safety Engineering Representative. Training on specific toxic or hazardous <br />chemicals is given by the Safety Engineering Representative, an Industrial <br />Hygienist, or other technically qualified personnel who, because of education, <br />training, or experience, understand the health risks and necessary safety <br />precaut;ons associated with each toxic or hazardous substance. Supervisors <br />document both types of 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 wastes. <br />Each facility determines which employees need this training in relation to their job <br />duties. <br />The training modules include an eight to fifteen minute videotape presentation, a <br />question and answer session, optional classroom exercises, and a self -paced <br />examination. The training modules in this program include: <br />a. Introduction to Hazardous Waste Management. <br />b. Hazardous Waste Identification. <br />c. Hazardous Waste Storage Areas. <br />d. Hazardous Waste Packaging and Labeling. <br />e. Hazardous Waste Manifests. <br />f. Hazardous Waste Transportation. <br />4-13 <br />
