Importance of Hazwoper 1st Responder Operations Training During Unremarkable Times

Occasionally we feel it is necessary to update what courses are available on the site. Today happens to be that day. You will see below a description of one of the OSHA Safety Courses that were so very popular and sought after during the devastating and eye-opening experience we all still share in, the BP Gulf Oil Spill. As a First Responder and one of the very first humans to reach the catastrophic Gulf of Mexico after the Horizons Explosion, these volunteers gave their all to help contain then clean-up the tattered Gulf Coast.

At Online OSHA Safety Training, the impudence has always been and will always be on the great workers and volunteers of America. From educating all in the aspects of safety training to making certain that all volunteers that will be called up again, unfortunately, know exactly what it is they are to do, to keep the people and the environment and all of her wildlife species, from harms way.

OSHA Compliance Training

The Hazwoper 1st Responder Operations Course, although not proprietary to one firm online, is a very important safety training and environmental first order of business training sector that needs to be learned by all who consider themselves hero’s or hero’s to be. It should not be one day that passes that we here at Online OSHA Safety Training fail to tip our collective hats to everyone that sacrificed, not only their time and resources, but in many cases, their very lives, so that others could live and be safe.

OSHA 1910.120(q)(6)(ii) - First Responder Operations Level

First responders at the operations level are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for protecting nearby persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release.

They are trained to respond in a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures.

Awareness Level

First responders at the operational level shall have received at least eight hours of training or have had sufficient experience to objectively demonstrate competency in the following areas in addition to those listed for the awareness level.
