[NaepcA1]

Good morning Everyone,

NAEPC, the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians and U.S. EPA Region 9 will be hosting a 40-hour HAZWOPER Training Course on September 9-13, 2013 from 8:00 am-5:00 pm. The training will be held at the Pechanga Tribal Government Center in Temecula, CA.

This 5-day course is designed for personnel involved with the investigation and remediation of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and, to a lesser extent, response to an accident involving hazardous materials. It provides basic information needed to meet the forty hours training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120 (e)(3)(i) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). Participants must attend all 40 hours in order to become certified.

After completing the course, participants will be able to:
• Identify methods and procedures for recognizing, evaluating, and controlling hazardous substances
• Identify concepts, principles, and guidelines to properly protect site or response personnel.
• Discuss regulations and action levels to ensure health and safety of the workers.
• Discuss fundamentals needed to develop organizational structure and standards operating procedures.
• Select and use dermal and respiratory protective equipment.
• Demonstrate the use, calibration, and limitations of direct-reading air monitoring instruments.

PLEASE NOTE: A medical evaluation in accordance with the Respiratory Protection Standards, 29 CFR 1910.134 is necessary in order to attend this course. Each student must include with their registration a letter from their supervisor or a copy of a medical certificate that clearly states that a medical evaluation has been completed and that the student is medically able to wear respiratory protection equipment

This must be received by August 23, 2013. Registration will not be complete, nor will confirmation be sent, until such proof is received by NAEPC.

If interested, please fill out registration forms and submit via email to cfoster@naepc.com or fax to 951-296-5109. Please forward to those who would be interested in attending.
