Facility hazmat managers wear many different hats and oversee many regulatory compliance programs.  Some days they are actively managing hazmats onsite, other days they are trainers, and other days they are updating site emergency response plans.  An experienced hazmat manager realizes that these key roles should not be siloed.  An experienced hazmat manager realizes that the core competencies of hazmat management, training, and planning can converge in a coordinated, comprehensive approach so that they build off of each other.  This presentation will start with an overview of discrete regulatory requirements related to day-to-day onsite hazmat management (including HazComm, IH, RCRA waste management, and DOT hazmats), employee training (including but not limited to HAZWOPER, HazComm, RCRA, and SPCC), and emergency response planning (to meet OSHA’s EAP and FPP requirements, RCRA Contingency Plan requirements, SPCC, and HAZWOPER Emergency Response Plans, among others).  Then, the presenter will share some best management practices and showcase some original management tools developed to tie these efforts together to allow the successful manager to simultaneously raise the caliber, compliance, completeness, and, therefore, success of all affected programs.

Webinar participants will learn a replicable approach to bring these compliance programs together, with pointers to take ownership of and drive improvement of a robust Hazard Communication program as the through-line that makes it all work.
