Emergency incidents are actual or potential spills or releases of hazardous materials into the environment. Because the possibility of damage to people, property and the environment is so serious, prompt and proper emergency response is critical. Training will reduce the chances of harm to people or property. All organizations must plan for emergencies. Depending on operations, formal HAZWOPER emergency response planning may be required and that is covered in this module. This course is ideal for industrial plant and laboratory employees in the United States including maintenance personnel and first responders who are responding to hazardous material incidents.
