Training Process

This course is designed to help workers meet the training requirement for proper use of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) 2026, equipping them with the knowledge to quickly identify and respond to hazardous material incidents. It should be combined with site-specific training provided by the employer, including the company’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP), policies, and procedures for personnel responding to HazMat emergencies. When applicable, workers must also receive additional training required by OSHA, federal, state, or local regulations regarding the specific hazards present in their roles. Training should be conducted by qualified providers to ensure credibility and reinforce the company’s safety program. In addition to external training, employees should participate in employer-provided site-specific training, covering unique hazard prevention measures, equipment usage, and emergency procedures. All training should be thoroughly documented for compliance purposes.
