Health and Safety at Hazardous Waste Sites

Steven P. Maslansky and Carol J. Maslansky (1997)

Originally developed as a course manual for the 40-hour OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations program sponsored by the National Ground Water Association, this text has been updated and revised in light of new developments and thorough classroom testing. Health and Safety at Hazardous Waste Sites presents authoritative and accessible information about health, safety, and operations at projects. Sources of information include U.S. EPA, OSHA, NIOSH, U.S. DOT, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Coast Guard, and other agencies. Extensive examples, helpful illustrations, and comprehensive appendixes enhance the data. Also included are two generic model plans: a site-specific health and safety plan and an emergency response plan.

This reference will be useful to everyone who performs investigative and remedial activities at contaminated sites. It can also serve as a main text for any safety and hazardous materials operations courses in the United States, Canada, or overseas.
