Training Process

This course is designed to help workers effectively use the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) 2026 as part of their hazardous materials response duties. It should be combined with company-specific training on the employer’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP), including policies, procedures, and roles for employees responding to hazmat incidents. Workers are required to receive additional site-specific training when mandated by OSHA, EPA, or other regulatory standards, focusing on the hazards unique to their job and workplace. This ensures responders are prepared to integrate ERG guidance with practical emergency response procedures. Training providers should be utilized to ensure credibility and to enhance a company’s in-house safety program. Employees should also be familiar with safe response distances, isolation zones, and hazard classes, as outlined in the ERG. Refresher training or demonstrations of competency are recommended annually to maintain compliance and readiness for emergency situations.
