OSHA First Responder Awareness Training (4 Hour)

Code: 1007
Subjects: OSHA Safety Courses
Price: US $55.00

For those in industries that generate hazardous waste or deal with various emergencies, cultivating awareness is one way of ensuring safety during a spill. Enrolling in the Hazmat First Responder Awareness (FRA) training is a step toward enhancing safety. Our certification course is for individuals who may encounter hazardous material spills in their work environment. This includes both employees who might unexpectedly face a spill and those specifically trained to handle emergencies.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This course aligns with the HAZWOPER regulation, structuring its units around specific regulatory requirements. Successful completion will equip participants with:

• A comprehensive understanding of hazardous substances and their associated risks during incidents. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(A)
• Knowledge of potential consequences stemming from hazardous substance emergencies. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(B)
• Proficiency in identifying hazardous substances in emergencies. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(C)
• The capability of identifying the hazardous substances when possible. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(D)
• What to do in a suspicious situation.

First responders may be tasked by their employers to advise on handling suspicious packages or objects. This course will introduce the SIN (self-safety, isolation and notification) approach for managing such situations.

Regulations This Course Meets

This OSHA First Responder Awareness course meets the training requirements outlined in 29 CFR 1910.120, ensuring your compliance with OSHA regulations. If you have had a previous FRA course, this course also will satisfy your annual OSHA First Responder Awareness refresher training requirement.

Topics Covered

First responder awareness training gives employees who are likely to discover hazardous releases and spills the skills they need to initiate an emergency response. Our online training for first responders at the awareness level comprises topics required by OSHA regulations under 29 CFR 1910.120.

Enrolling in our course allows you to learn what hazardous substances are, how to recognize them in an emergency, what to do in a suspicious situation and more. To enhance the preparedness of awareness-level first responders, this training incorporates a module specifically addressing “First Responder Actions in a Terrorism Event.”

Training Levels

It’s important to distinguish between first responders at the awareness level and first responders with other levels of training. At the awareness level, first responders are expected to recognize a hazardous spill, notify emergency personnel and help secure and evacuate the area. Responders at the awareness level are not expected or trained to take any further action.

In comparison, first responders who must clean up spills, contain spills, work with contaminated victims or otherwise directly intervene require higher levels of training, such as operational, technician, specialist or on-scene incident commander training.

OSHA mandates specific training for anyone responding to hazardous material releases, outlining five distinct training levels.

All of the levels start with the First Responder Awareness (FRA) course. FRA personnel are individuals whose responsibilities include responding to hazardous material releases, identifying situations that necessitate specialized assistance and requesting help when needed.
