OSHA/Specialty Training

The aim of OSHA's 7.5-hour Disaster Site Worker Course is a condensed version of the 15-hour course. It aims to provide disaster site workers with an understanding of the safety and health hazards they might face. This includes emphasizing the significance of respiratory and other personal protective equipment (PPE) and outlining decontamination procedures to mitigate potential hazards. Participants will actively support the implementation of an Incident Command System (ICS) by safely executing their job responsibilities. They will also demonstrate awareness of the effects of traumatic incident stress resulting from working conditions and learn measures to alleviate this stress.
