Publisher Comments:

All the regulatory requirements associated with the handling, clean-up and storage of hazardous materials (HAZWOPER) are brought together in this reader friendly book. Revisions to this edition include expanded regulations for dealing with an intentional release of a hazardous material in a terrorist incident, as well as pre-emergency plans for hazardous materials operations and response programs needed to effectively deal with natural disasters. Considered by many as an authoritative, comprehensive guide to Hazmat operations, this book examines OSHA regulations, risk evaluation, incident management, hazardous site operations, and more in order to effectively train hazmat responders.

Synopsis:

This essential guide provides the student a practical approach to the concepts of handling hazardous materials. Based on OSHA "HAZWOPER" regulations, this invaluable text addresses the specific competencies required of persons responding to a hazardous materials emergency. It guides the student through the essentials of understanding and evaluating hazards and finding simple solutions to complex problems. The student learns how to evaluate risk, select correct protective equipment, manage the incident and address tactical and strategic issues while minimizing down-time and reducing risk to other workers.
