Description
Understanding and compliance with OSHA, RCRA, and EPA regulations are crucial to protect a worker's safety and health, protect the community and environment from pollution, as well as to insure the safe transportation and disposal of a hazardous substance. During my internship with the Institute for Environmental Assessment, I was responsible for insuring that twelve school districts and one county were in compliance with several health and safety regulations. 1 will discuss how this was accomplished by on-site assessments of Hazardous Communication (Employee Right-to-Know), Bloodbome Pathogens, Chemical Hygiene and Asbestos Programs, as well as establishing training programs for employees on OSHA General Industry Standards.
