HAZWOPER: Handling & Shipping Drums & Containers
HAZWOPER: HANDLING & SHIPPING DRUMS & CONTAINERS
Detonations, fires, explosions, vapor generation, and physical injury are all potential hazards workers face while handling drums and other containers of hazardous substances. Proper work practices can minimize the risks. If the potential for a major spill exists, the hazardous waste cleanup site must prepare and implement a written spill containment program to address how the spill will be isolated and contained.
This HAZWOPER training course is designed to focus on the precautions and procedures to use when handling, opening, staging, and shipping drums and other containers of hazardous substances. The course goes over the importance of inspection, planning, sampling, and characterizing drums and containers before movement. Special precautions and spill containment are also addressed.
