HAZWOPER TRAINING

Before you can enter or start work on an uncontrolled hazardous waste operation, you need to learn how to stay safe while handling dangerous chemicals. This course reviews a variety of topics that relate to hazardous waste operations and emergency response (Hazwoper), including site characterization, hazardous chemicals, radiation hazards, personal protective equipment (PPE), and decontamination methods. GPRS project managers have this training to know best practices for safely handling and responding to emergencies that involve hazardous waste. Many GPRS projects take our project managers to sites that involve hazardous chemicals, contaminations, and Superfund sites. Hazwoper is an essential training for our Project Managers to have in these cases.

CONFINED SPACE TRAINING & FALL PROTECTION

Confined space training covers when an employee is too large to enter and perform assigned work while having very restricted ways for entry and exit. The confined space training is based on OSHA 1910.146 permit required confined space standards. Fall protection is designed to protect our Project Managers from falling or if they do fall, to prevent them from severe injury.
