OSHA HAZWOPER Emergency Response First Responder Awareness Level (FRAL) Training

Safety Partners presents a half-day training that provides certification at the First Responder Awareness Level (FRAL), as specified in OSHA’s hazardous waste operations and emergency response standard, 29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6)(i). This regulation is designed to help assure worker health and safety while performing work activities associated with hazardous waste, and for those responsible for recognizing hazardous material spills and releases and notifying the appropriate personnel during an emergency, regardless of the location of the hazard.

Who should take this course?

Individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence by notifying the proper authorities of the release. They would take no further action beyond notifying the authorities of the release.

Some job titles/department personnel that may require HAZWOPER FRAL training, depending on their level of response, may include, but are not limited to, lab and manufacturing personnel, DOT hazmat employees, warehouse staff, maintenance workers.

What does this course cover?

This course provides a regulatory review, discusses hazard and risk assessment, and provides spill response guidance that can be taken by those individuals with this level of certification. Interactive spill response scenarios allow participants to strategize response to potential incidents.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Determine the need for additional resources, to make appropriate notifications during, and demonstrate the knowledge and competence necessary to effectively respond to, an incident.
  • Understand the actions and limitations of a first responder awareness level trained employee in the event of an incident, including the elements of an emergency response plan and site security and control.
  • Recognize and identify hazardous substances in an emergency, including how to use the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Emergency Response Guidebook.
  • Understand what hazardous substances are as well as the risks and potential outcomes associated with an emergency when they are present.
