• The HAZWOPER Standard (29 CFR 1910.12) and how it applies to the participants’ work
• The NIOSH Pocket Guide & Safety Data Sheets, and their importance in determining appropriate level of PPE
• HAZWOPER review game

• Air monitoring equipment and procedure
• Decontamination procedures spill control procedures
• Actions the participants might take to improve safety when they return to work

The Refresher concludes with a final Table-Top Activity
