In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires the development and dissemination of such information.
HazCom has been replaced. One way to help keep them separate is to refer to the new standard as HCS 2012. This exercise is consistent with OHSA guidance for training required by December 1, 2013.

COURSE MATERIALS
This course was developed to meet the requirements of the OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, 29CFR1910.120 for those hospital employees who may be involved in receiving victims of a mass-casualty event. The program is designed to provide background, drill and resources for “first receivers” at a health care facility. The program covers vulnerability assessments, Emergency Management Plans and provides opportunity for a drill using equipment that is available at the facility where you will provide training. The facilities for decon will vary, from a single room in a facility, to the availability of a heated and plumbed external tent.

The Midwest Consortium developed this course to train emergency responders and others who may respond to an opioid overdose. By following the outlined format and activities in this guide, you will be better able to enhance learning, stimulate participant discussion, and achieve the training objectives.
DOWNLOADS
COURSE MATERIALS
Opioids are medications that reduce pain but carry serious risk of misuse. Workers in occupations which face risk of injury are in greater danger of opioid or other substance use, overdose, or death. These at-risk workers and other populations often lack the necessary resources and education to protect themselves.
This refresher module is an awareness-level training tool designed to address the impact of the opioid crisis on workers, the workplace, and the community. Training on the use of Naloxone (Narcan) for treatment of an opioid overdose is an optional activity.

This course was developed to meet the requirements of the OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard, 29 CFR 1910.120 and Employee Emergency Plans and Fire Prevention Plans, 29 CFR 1910.38. The program is designed to provide Evacuation Coordinators with the knowledge and skills required to assist employees in evacuating their facility in the event of an emergency. It may be appropriate to add shelter-in-place content as well.
This course is designed to be completed in 2 hours, not including breaks.

COURSE MATERIALS
Workers and community members utilize devices with lithium batteries daily. While lithium batteries are generally safe, they can become a fire and/or explosion hazard if defective or damaged.
This curriculum on lithium battery safety can be used as an exercise with the 3AW HAZWOPER Awareness community program or as an awareness-level refresher module for workers in the 8-hour site worker (8HR) or emergency response (ERR) modular refresher programs.
