Exposure Monitoring & Medical Surveillance

Course Description

MARCOM's interactive course on Exposure Monitoring & Medical Surveillance is designed to help facilities comply with OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120). As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials. The course part of the HAZWOPER Annual Retraining Series discusses various types of exposure monitoring equipment and techniques.

The course  reviews the concept of medical surveillance and how it is used to evaluate the health of anyone who regularly works around hazardous materials. Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. It is so important that employees know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances, as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly, that OSHA mandates that anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive training in this area.

Areas covered in the course include direct-reading instruments, sampling collection devices, site characterization, general on-site monitoring, perimeter monitoring and personal monitoring, medical surveillance programs, medical examinations and written medical opinions, and more.

Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood and retained.
