"Inside the HAZWOPER Regulation"

Terry Gunderson

May 9, 2008
Hs Lordships, Berkeley, CA

Terry Gunderson is President of Gunderson Safety. Terry’s company specializes in safety management consultations and works with a variety of industries. Prior to forming Gunderson Safety, Terry was a fire protection specialist in the Air Force and a safety consultant. Terry has many certifications including an authorized OSHA Construction Outreach Trainer for the OSHA 10 and 30-hour courses.

OSHA’s Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) regulation can be difficult to understand. Who does it apply to? When does it apply? What can a General Site Worker do that an Occasional Site Worker cannot? Are annual refreshers really necessary? Some of the regulation’s answers are straight forward while others are obscure.

Terry’s discussion will explain some of the obvious issues surrounding applicability, training, designation difference, certification maintenance, and certificate holder expectations. While OSHA has attempted to present a clear cut regulation, there are many interpretations.

The luncheon seminar will be held at Hs Lordships, 199 Seawall Drive, in the Berkeley Marina, (510)843-2733 (map). Registration starts at 11:15 am and the presentation follows at noon.
