OSHA spill response training is an essential component of any workplace safety program. It equips employees with the knowledge and skills to safely clean up spills of hazardous materials, reducing the risk of injuries and environmental damage. At Hazmat School, we provide training that aligns with the OSHA spill response training requirements. Upon completion, participants will receive a Hazmat spill cleanup certification.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This course is designed around the guidelines specified in the HAZWOPER regulation, with its structure and objectives focusing on essential requirements. Each unit addresses one or more of the following competencies. Upon completing the program, participants will have demonstrated the following abilities:

• Knowledge of hazardous substances and the associated risks during incidents (29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(A))
• Awareness of the potential consequences of emergencies involving hazardous substances (29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(B))
• Skills to identify whether there are hazardous substances in emergencies (29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(C))
• Capability to identify hazardous substances when possible (29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(D))
• Guidance on how to respond to suspicious situations
• Ability to distinguish between emergency and non-emergency spills
• Understanding of appropriate actions, materials and techniques for managing non-emergency spills of hazardous materials

As a first responder, you may be asked by your employer to provide guidance on handling suspicious packages or objects. This Hazmat course will introduce you to the acronym SIN (self-safety, isolation and notification), which will help you effectively manage emergencies.

Regulations This Course Satisfies

This course meets your OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 First Responder Awareness (FRA) training requirements and certifies you to clean up non-emergency spills in your workplace. Taking this course will also satisfy your OSHA First Responder Awareness annual refresher training requirement. Upon successful completion, you will receive an OSHA First Responder Awareness with Spill Cleanup printable pdf certificate.

Topics Covered

This course covers all the FRA training topics required by OSHA under 29 CFR 1910.120 as well as methods for combatting non-emergency spills of hazardous materials. Once you enroll in this course, you can expect to learn about different types of hazardous substances, the risks associated with hazardous substances, how to recognize hazardous substances in an emergency and how to respond to both emergency and non-emergency spills.

To further meet the needs of awareness-level first responders, our spill response online certification course includes the module “The First Responder in a Time of Terrorism.” This module will teach you how to respond to a suspicious object, package or situation.

Training Levels

OSHA differentiates between five levels of first response training — on-scene incident commander, specialist, technician, operations and awareness. Awareness-level first responders are trained to identify emergency spills of hazardous materials, alert the proper authorities and help evacuate the area. These responders are not authorized or expected to take any further action to contain, stop or clean up the spill.

It’s important to note that our spill response certification only qualifies employees to address non-emergency spills, such as minor spills in a laboratory setting. In the event of an emergency release, first responders at the awareness level will still need to notify spill response personnel with higher levels of OSHA training.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Students must complete all modules to access the final exam. You will require internet access, an email account and an iPad or computer. All materials for the course are online, so there is no need for text. Completing the course will take about 6 hours.

GRADING POLICY

To successfully complete this course, you must achieve a score of 75% or higher on the true/false or multiple choice exam. If you fail to attain a minimum of 75% on the final test, you can retake it up to three times.

COURSE SCHEDULE

This self-paced course must be completed in 60 days, and re-enrolling is necessary after two months. When you complete it successfully, you will immediately get a PDF certificate.

Certification, Accreditation and CEUs

Once you complete our first responder spill cleanup training, you’ll obtain documentation to present to federal or state regulators. Your certificate will communicate your qualification to respond at the awareness level to emergency spills and to clean up non-emergency spills at your workplace.

If you take this course as part of continuing education, you may receive 0.6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or six contact hours.

Who Is This Class For?

Does your workplace store or handle hazardous chemicals? Will your job duties include cleaning up non-emergency hazardous material spills? Do you need to know proper emergency procedures? If your work involves non-emergency response to incidents that involve hazardous materials or chemicals, our first responder awareness and spill cleanup course is for you.

Police Officers, Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), and Public Works employees, Security Officers and Emergency Response Team (ERT) Members all benefit from or require OSHA Emergency Response Training. If your job responsibilities may involve responding to a hazardous material release, OSHA mandates that you complete one of five levels of training.

The First Responder Awareness (FRA) course is the most basic OSHA Emergency Response training level. Persons seeking FRA certification typically hold positions that require responding to hazardous material releases. They must be able to identify situations that require specialized help and promptly notify the appropriate authorities.

If your site regularly experiences or has the potential to experience non-emergency hazardous material spills, this course will provide you with the necessary knowledge, tools and training to address these spills in a hands-on manner.

A certificate documenting compliance with the OSHA requirement is presented upon completion. For those who are already certified to the FRA level, this course satisfies the requirement for your annual refresher course.
