HAZWOPER: Medical Surveillance Programs

HAZWOPER: Medical Surveillance Programs

Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive training in this area.

In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste "from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials.

Our training products on "HAZWOPER: Medical Surveillance Programs" discuss various types of "medical surveillance" and how it is used to evaluate the health of anyone who regularly works around hazardous materials. Topics covered in these products include:

• Definition of medical surveillance.
• Medical examinations.
• Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).
• The written medical opinion.
• Medical records.
• and more.
