Division Training - HAZWOPER – Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
Date: 11/13/2010
Time: 0830
Location: MSU Portland Training Deck
Uniform: ODU or Working Blue
The course is for personnel who are exposed or potentially exposed to hazardous substances or health hazards. Topics include HAZWOPER regulations, safety and health plans, hazardous chemicals, safety hazards, air monitoring, medical surveillance, site control, decontamination, personal protective equipment, and respiratory equipment.
As part of the Coast Guard’s response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Auxiliarists who were trained in HAZWOPER and willing to respond were asked to apply for deployment.
HAZWOPER awareness is also important for any members participating in surface or air operations, augmenting in prevention or response activities, or conducing vessel exams.
To increase our readiness to respond, Coast Guard and Auxiliary leadership recommends that members increase skills that reflect the modern missions of the Coast Guard.
