HAZWOPER Emergency Response Plan
Planning is critical for safe, timely responses to hazardous material incidents. The HAZWOPER standard requires employers whose employees respond to releases of hazardous materials at any location to have a written emergency response plan. This includes both fixed-location employers like industrial facilities and those that deploy from a duty station to various locations, such as a fire department or emergency medical service. This module describes the required information in emergency response plans.

Sample Video Transcript
Emergency response plans are meant to prepare employees for dangerous, unpredictable situations. All employees need to know what to do when an emergency happens, so you should familiarize yourself with your facility’s emergency response plan and know your role and duties in the chain of command. Always use safe work practices and follow the procedures outlined in the plan. Practice is critical for success in an actual emergency, and it helps identify flaws in the plan, so regular drills should be conducted.
