EMPLOYEE TRAINING Employee training is required for all employees and/or contractors handling hazardous materials and/or hazardous wastes during normal and/or emergency operations. Most facilities will need to submit a separate Training Plan. However, your CUPA may accept this section as the Training Plan for some small facilities. Employee training plans may include the following content:  Applicable laws and regulations;  Emergency response plans and procedures;  Safety Data Sheets;  Hazard communication related to health and safety;  Methods for safe handling of hazardous substances;  Hazards of materials and processes (e.g., fire, explosion, asphyxiation);  Hazard mitigation, prevention and abatement procedures;  Coordination of emergency response actions;  Notification procedures for local emergency responders, CUPA, Cal OES, and onsite personnel;  Communication and alarm systems;  Personal protective equipment;  Use and maintenance of emergency response equipment and supplies (e.g. Fire extinguishers, respirators, spill control materials);  Decontamination procedures;  Evacuation procedures and evacuation staging locations;  Identification of facility areas, equipment, and systems vulnerable to earthquakes and other natural disasters.  OTHER (Specify): Check the applicable boxes below to indicate how the employee training program is administered. 1.

Large Quantity Generator Training: Large quantity generators (1,000 kg or more) must retain written plan and documentation of employee training which includes:  A written description of the type and amount of both initial and ongoing training that will be given to persons filling each job position having responsibility for hazardous waste management and/or emergency response.  The name, job title and job description for each position at the facility related to hazardous waste management.  Current employee training records must be retained until closure of the facility and former employee training records must be retained for at least three years after termination of employment. Small Quantity Generator Training: Small quantity generators (less than 1,000 kg) must include basic hazardous waste management and emergency response procedures but a written employee training plan and training records are not required. In order to show that the facility has met the small quantity generator employee training requirement, an employee training plan and training records may be made available. Hazardous Materials Business Plan Training: Businesses must provide initial and annual employee training that includes the content referenced above. The training may be based on the job position and training records must be made available for a period of at least three years. J. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Check one of the following: J1. 1.
