Mazzocchi Center Courses
Target Audience: Hazardous waste workers from all USW industries. Basic Health and Safety Training for Devastated Communities This 8-hour course explores the role of the Government response to disasters in the past and how the Government can best respond to the needs of the Gulf Coast following a hurricane. It also teaches trainees how to recognize the dangers faced when returning home after a hurricane. This course also helps determine if there is anything they can do about this problem and shows how to begin a plan that will make a difference. Target Audience: People returning to Katrina-devastated homes and the clean-up workers and volunteers helping them. Target Audience: Hazardous Waste Workers from all USW industries. Site Emergency Hurricane PSSR Training 8-hour course that uses hazard mapping to allow the trainees to identify and list the hazards present in a normal startup and to identify and examine additional hazards created by a Total Emergency Hurricane Shutdown. The trainees identify the need for new startup procedures to address the unique hazards of total shutdown caused by a hurricane and review a Hurricane Plan to determine if their facility is meeting its standards. They then determine if the plan itself is sufficient and who is the proper authority to make a hurricane shutdown call. During the course the trainees will determine possible ways to organize around pushing this issue. Target Audience: USW industry worker in hufficane-affected areas Chemical and Radioactive Hazardous Waste Cleanup This course consists of two workbooks (Volumes 1 and 2) which can be used to provide 24-hour and 40-hour courses to meet requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120. The course provides a comprehensive hazardous materials training and awareness with small group activities covering hazardous substances and waste problems, toxic chemicals, MSDSs, use of DOT Hazardous Materials Information Systems, Target Audience: Hazardous waste worker from all USW industries. DOE Annual Refresher Training for Hazardous Waste Operations This course provides DOE workers with the required annual 8-hour hazardous waste operations refresher required under 29 CFR 1910.120. The course covers identifying hazards through procedures and eliminating them with Systems of Safety, physical hazards, review of MSDS, Target Audience: Hazardous waste workers from all DOE sites. This 32-hour class is designed to address the requirements of OSHA’s 1910.120 Hazardous Waste Operations Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER). The class elements identify the names of personnel and alternates responsible for site safety and health. It covers safety, health and hazards associated with waste operations and emergency response situations and proper workplace procedures and controls on how to properly deal with these hazards. The participants review selection processes for determining the appropriate PPE needed for the corresponding hazards. An emphasis is placed on best work practices including engineering controls to minimize risks from hazards. Hazardous Waste Operations Emergency Response 8 Hour Refresher |
Training%20the%20Trainer.jpg)
A 40-hour train-the-trainer course for new trainers to learn the Small Group Activity Method and specific workbook materials. The new trainers will practice using this small group activity method with their fellow new trainers. Each activity, which usually runs from 30 minutes to one hour, has three common elements: Small Group Tasks, Report-back and Summary. Trainer will learn and practice USW values of training and delivering workbook content.

This 8-hour course is designed to use the Systems of Safety approach to eliminate or reduce hazards that may be targets for intentional acts of terrorism. The course will use hazard mapping to examine if a workplace is at risk and determine its preparedness. It will use a systems approach to examine ways to lessen our vulnerability to acts of terrorism by applying the PSM Standard to these hazards. Participants will practice using the PSM Standard to prevent and/or mitigate incidents caused by intentional acts.SOS%20Hazard%20Mapping.jpg)

Process%20Safety%20Training.jpg)
An 8-hour course that acquaints trainees with the basic elements of the Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard and why each plant needs to set up a Process Safety Management (PSM) organizational structure to oversee the implementation of the PSM Standard. The course introduces the concept of systems of safety and accident prevention, allows the trainees to become familiar with the OSHA performance-based requirements for a plant "mechanical integrity" program and examines the causes and solutions of "breakdown" maintenance. Course also touches on conducting accident, incident and near-miss investigations, focusing on root causes.Site%20Emergency%20Hurricane%20PSSR%20Training.jpg)
