Summary
This instruction is written to help OSHA compliance officers who need to conduct inspections of clean-up operations on hazardous waste sites and corrective action sites. It will also assist other federal agency personnel who oversee site operations (e.g., EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), trainers, workers, and members of the regulated community who need to comply with paragraphs (b) through (o) of OSHA's HAZWOPER standard at 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65. This instruction includes:
A description of required training, medical surveillance, clearances, and field competencies for inspectors who conduct these types of inspections;
A discussion of HAZWOPER’s possible overlap with other OSHA standards and with standards of other federal agencies, and related citation guidance;
Detailed inspection checklists that instruct inspectors how to evaluate an employer’s implementation of the standard’s provisions;
A description of the site cleanup process and sources of site information inspectors can use to familiarize themselves with a site’s operations and hazards prior to an inspection; and
A list of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other equipment recommended for inspectors who plan to enter contaminated areas of a site, a glossary of related terms, and a list of references.
This instruction is written to ensure uniform OSHA enforcement.
