  1. apply this test:
    If you don't have a government-labeled hazardous waste site, then you might be covered if you have a hazardous substance, very broadly defined, and there is a reasonable probability that a release in the workplace might require intervention of a specially trained/equipped team from outside the immediate release area.

  2. The forklift driver is also responding as a First Responder Awareness Level when he recognizes that the leaking chemical is an event that should be reported. His training is to notify the foreman to take control of the scene while keeping himself and others in the area safe.

  3. The 8 hour Awareness level training applies to many manufacturing facilities unless the company instructs everyone to pull the fire box and evacuate. Most facilities that use fuel oil for heat have a need for an SPCC plan, and those almost always trigger the need for equipment and training under hazwoper!

  4. COSHH plays a big part in the Health and Social Care sector because of its chemicals and usage, and also medication. lt is important to follow and adhere to the rules, and receive training.
