Course: Confined Space Rescue (CSR)

• Facilitators Manual
• Participant Manual

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule to help assure worker health and safety during emergency response activities requires specific training for members of the response team, depending upon the duties to be performed. Emergency response activities are conducted within a structured framework called the Incident Command System and an Emergency Response Plan (ERP); at locations where personnel will evacuate and await external personnel to conduct the response an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is required.

This is an Awareness level program and does not meet the requirements for serving as an Incident Commander at an actual incident. To serve as an Incident Commander, additional training is required, including an initial 24-hours of training at the Operations level.

Municipal First-on-the-Scene

This training is intended to meet the requirements of the OSHA Hazardous Waste Rule (29 CFR 1910.120) for first responder personnel (awareness level) who may be the first-on-the-scene at a hazardous materials incident. The training program covers basic hazard recognition, identification, reporting, and self-protection for individuals who may do preliminary observation of an event. It does not provide the necessary hazard recognition and protective skills required to perform emergency response activities. To undertake the activities of emergency responders, additional training is necessary.
