Quick Reference Fact Sheet
INTRODUCTION
Under the authority of section
126 of the Superfund Amend-
ments and Reauthorization Act
of 1986 (SARA Title I), the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the U.S.
Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) issued identical
health and safety standards to protect workers
engaged in hazardous waste operations and
emergency response. The OSHA regulations,
codified at 29 CFR 1910.120, became effective on
March 6, 1990 (54 FR 9294). Corrections to these
regulations were published on April 13, 1990 (55
FR 14072) to clarify certain medical surveillance
requirements and to identify which employers must
comply with 29 CFR 1910.120(p). The EPA
regulations, published on June 23, 1989 at 54 FR
26654, incorporate the OSHA standards by
reference and are codified at 40 CFR Part 311.
The EPA and OSHA worker protection
standards for hazardous waste operations and
emergency response (HAZWOPER) affect
employers whose employees are engaged in the
following activities:
Clean-up operations at uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites when a government
authority requires the cleanup (29 CFR
Corrective actions at treatment, storage,
and disposal (TSD) facilities regulated
under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) (29 CFR
Voluntary clean-up operations at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites (29 CFR
• Hazardous waste operations conducted at
RCRA TSD facilities (29 CFR
1910.120(a)(iv)); and
• Emergency response operations without
regard to location, where there is the
release or a substantial threat of release of
a hazardous substance (29 CFR
1910.120(a)(v)).
The purpose of this Fact Sheet is to explain
the scope and purpose of the worker protection
standards issued under SARA Title I, and to
distinguish these standards from other regulations
and consensus standards covering the same or
similar subject matter. This Fact Sheet is also
designed to facilitate compliance with the
HAZWOPER requirements by helping employers
and other interested readers to understand their
special responsibilities under these worker
protection standards. For a summary of the
HAZWOPER requirements, refer to Exhibit 1.
This Fact Sheet is divided into five sections.
Section one gives a brief legislative history of the
EPA and OSHA worker protection standards for
hazardous waste operations and emergency
response, and explains the responsibilities of these
two agencies in implementing the standards^
Sections two, three, and four compare the 1910.120
standards with other programs governing the same
kinds of activities. Finally, section five explains
how to obtain the publications discussed in this
Fact Sheet.

Overview of EPA and
OSHA Worker
Protection Authority
The Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970, as
amended, (OSH Act) established health and safety
standards for the American workplace. Section 6
of the OSH Act established Federal authority to
issue general health and safety standards for
private industry; section 19 addresses standards for
Federal government employees. Under the
authority of section 6 of the OSH Act, OSHA
promulgated general industry standards and
standards that apply specifically to the construction
industry; these standards are codified at 29 CFR
1910 and 1926, respectively. These standards set
forth the minimum health and safety requirements
necessary to ensure protection for all private sector
employees in the United States. The scope of the
coverage of the standards set forth in 29 CFR 1910
and 1926 changed dramatically on February 26,
1980, when President Jimmy Carter signed
Executive Order 12196, requiring the Federal
government to comply with the more stringent
general industry standards issued under section 6
of the OSH Act.
SARA section 126(a) requires the Secretary
of Labor to issue health and safety standards under
section 6 of the OSH Act for the benefit of private
sector employees -- and through the Executive
Order, Federal employees - engaged in hazardous
waste operations and emergency response. Federal
OSHA has no authority to enforce regulations
protecting state and local government employees.
Under section 18 of the OSH Act, a state
may elect to develop and implement its own
occupational safety and health program if: (1) the
state is willing to document its program in a state
plan, and (2) the state's requirements are at least
as stringent as the Federal regulations. Before a
state program can become effective, however,
OSHA must review and approve the state plan.
Through its review and approval authority, OSHA
requires states to extend occupational safety and
health protection to state and local government
employees, as well as to private sector employees,
within the state's jurisdiction. Currently, there are
23 states and two territories with delegated OSHA
programs. These state plans must be amended to
incorporate the newly promulgated standards in 29
CFR 1910.120, to address the safety and health of
employees engaged in hazardous waste operations
and emergency response.
SARA section 126(f) requires the EPA
Administrator to issue standards for hazardous
waste operations and emergency response that are
identical to OSHA's standards. Although the two
sets of standards contain identical substantive
provisions, EPA and OSHA address different
audiences. EPA's authority extends to state and
local government employers conducting hazardous
waste operations and emergency response in states
-------
that do not have in effect a delegated OSHA
program. Currently, 27 states, one territory, and
the District of Columbia fall under EPA's
authority. The EPA regulations cover both
compensated and uncompensated state and local
government employees engaged in the covered
activities. Therefore, the EPA standards protect
volunteers, such as volunteer fire fighters who are
responding to hazardous substance emergencies.
Although Federal OSHA recommends that
delegated state programs also cover
uncompensated employees, not all states have
followed this recommendation.
In summary, in states without an OSHA-
approved plan, Federal OSHA standards protect
all private sector and Federal employees engaged
in hazardous waste operations and emergency
response; the EPA worker protection standards
protect all state and local government employees,
including volunteer workers. In states with an
OSHA-approved plan, the state program covers all
private sector employees, as well as state and local
government employees; Federal OSHA covers
Federal employees in those states. The shaded
area in Exhibit 2 shows jurisdictions without an
OSHA-delegated program.
Inter-Agency Agreement
EPA and OSHA have an agreement to
share responsibility for implementing the Title I
worker protection standards. Under the terms of
this agreement, OSHA performs the following
activities:
• Support of the National Response Team and
Regional Response Teams.
• Technical Assistance. OSHA advises EPA
on the types of actions EPA should take at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites to
ensure full compliance with the
HAZWOPER requirements. As an advisor,
OSHA will identify problems that EPA may
face and suggest appropriate solutions.
• Compliance Activities. OSHA conducts
inspections and takes enforcement actions
to ensure compliance with the worker
protection standards at Superfund sites.
• Implementation Activities. OSHA supports
EPA in conducting workshops to explain
the requirements of the standards, and
provides official interpretations of the
health and safety requirements.

the worker protection standards for
hazardous waste operations and emergency
response, contact an OSHA Regional Office

Assistance in Washington, D.C. Refer to
Exhibit 4 for relevant addresses and
telephone numbers.
The next three sections of this Fact Sheet
compare OSHA's health and safety standards for
hazardous waste operations and emergency
response with several related regulations,
standards, and guidelines developed by OSHA,
EPA, and the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA). Be aware that in the context of this
discussion, we will talk about "hazardous
substances," "extremely hazardous substances"
(EHSs), "hazardous materials," "hazardous wastes,"
and "highly hazardous chemicals." Each of these
terms means something different, and the
regulatory programs that employ them are
intended to prevent or mitigate the effects from
exposure to a distinct set of hazardous chemicals.
Comparing Regulatory
Requirements Under
SARA Title I, SARA
Title HI, and OSHA's
Proposed Rule on Highly
Hazardous Chemicals
SARA Title I
Under the authority of Title I, section 126
of SARA, EPA published worker protection
standards for hazardous waste operations and
emergency response (HAZWOPER).
HAZWOPER specifies certain health and safety
requirements to ensure the protection of
employees engaged in hazardous waste operations
and emergency response during five specified
activities (see page 1 of this Fact Sheet).
HAZWOPER does not address emergency
responders who engage only in handling traditional
fire and medical emergencies; other OSHA
programs protect these employees. HAZWOPER,
however, requires that an employer provide, among
other things, proper emergency response planning,
training, and medical surveillance. Affected
workers must be protected during the entire
remedial process, from the preliminary evaluation
and initial site entry to final closure of the site.
Emergency Response Planning. An employer
must develop an emergency response plan to
protect workers in an emergency resulting from the
release of all kinds of hazardous substances,
including EHSs, CERCLA hazardous substances,
RCRA hazardous wastes, and any substance listed
by the U.S. Department of Transportation as a
hazardous material.
Training. An employer also must ensure
that workers receive the kind of training specified
in the regulation. The standard reflects a tiered
approach to training, linking the amount and type
of training to an employee's potential for exposure
to hazardous substances and to other health
hazards during a hazardous waste operation or an
emergency response. The greater the potential
hazard, the more extensive and stringent are the
training requirements.
Medical Surveillance.
HAZWOPER
establishes a framework for a medical monitoring
program for certain workers engaged in hazardous
waste operations and emergency response. The
medical surveillance requirements include
provisions for a baseline, periodic, and termination
medical examination for specific groups of
employees. HAZWOPER also requires that
employees receive a medical examination as soon
as possible if they are injured or become ill from
exposure to hazardous substances on-site or during
an emergency, or develop signs or symptoms that
indicate a possible overexposure to hazardous
substances. Although an attending physician may
determine the content of medical examinations
required under the standard, the examination must
address key elements related to handling hazardous
substances.
SARA Title III
SARA Title III, or the Emergency Planning
and Community Right-to-Know Act, is a law
enacted to improve state and local government
capacity to respond to an emergency caused by an
accidental release of an EHS; and to disseminate
information to the public on dangerous chemicals
made, used, or stored in their community.
Think of this law as having four main parts.
The first part, sections 302 and 303, requires each
state to create a State Emergency Response
-------
Commission (SERC). In turn, these SERCs must
create Local Emergency Planning Committees
(LEPCs) that correspond to local emergency
planning districts. LEPCs develop and update
emergency response plans for accidents involving
EHSs; and receive, manage, and provide public
access to information about toxic and other
hazardous substances in the district. SERCs
review emergency response plans, and generally
supervise and coordinate LEPC activities.
The second part of SARA Title III (section
304) sets out emergency release reporting
requirements. Under this part of the law, the
owner or operator of a facility from which an EHS
or CERCLA hazardous substance is released at or
above a reportable quantity (RQ) must notify
SERCs and LEPCs in the affected area by
telephone. There must be a written follow-up
report to this immediate notification. Both the
initial and follow-up reports must give details on
known or anticipated health risks and advice
regarding medical attention.
The third part of SARA Title III (sections
311 and 312) gives people the right to know what
substances are being made, used, or stored in their
communities. The OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard (HCS) requires owners and operators to
keep "material safety data sheets" (or MSDSs) with
information about the health hazards of chemicals
at the facility, and to make these MSDSs available
to their employees. SARA Title III piggy-backs on
the MSDS requirements in the HCS. Under
SARA Title III, the owner or operator also must
send copies of MSDSs, or lists of chemicals with
MSDSs, to SERCs, LEPCs, and fire departments.
LEPCs, in turn, make this information available to
the public during normal business hours.
The final part of SARA Title III (section
313) requires certain owners and operators to
report toxic substances released from their facility
- whether the release is routine or accidental; and
to report toxic substances they transport to
another site as waste.
Of these four parts, the one that most
closely parallels the SARA Title I worker
protection standards is the part dealing with
emergency response planning (section 303). There
are nine emergency response planning elements in
section 303 of SARA Title III. Although these
planning elements do not correspond point-for-
point with the emergency response planning
elements in the worker protection standards issued
under SARA Title I, each program covers similar
subjects. Title I (HAZWOPER) and Title III
emergency response planning elements both:
• Highlight the need for planning before there
is an emergency;
• Require planners to identify emergency
response decision-makers and other
personnel;
• Require planners to develop guidelines for
recognizing and evaluating releases;
• Require evacuation planning;
• Require that the emergency response plan
set out an orderly sequence of steps to
follow in an emergency;
• Direct planners to specify equipment that
may be needed for various levels and types
of emergencies; and
• Require testing the plan and providing
appropriate training for emergency
responders.
On the other hand, there are some
important differences in emergency response
planning requirements under Title I and Title III.
For example, a Title I plan must address a number
of chemical hazards, while a Title III plan must
cover only those emergencies arising from the
release of an EHS. Further, a plan to protect
employees under Title I may require far more
specificity than a Title III plan. Although a Title
III plan may be too general for use as an
employer's Title I plan, the Title I plan may
reference the Title III plan to avoid any
unnecessary duplication of information. If a Title
III plan is referenced, a copy of the referenced
document must be kept with the Title I plan.
The most important thing to remember in
distinguishing Title I and Title III emergency
response planning is that Title I plans focus on
worker safety; Title III plans focus on community
safety. The similarities and differences between
the Title I and Title III emergency response
planning requirements are addressed in greater
detail in a paper entitled "SARA Title I/Title III
Emergency Response Planning Requirements." To
obtain a copy of this document, contact the
Environmental Response Team (ERT) of EPA in
-------
Edison, New Jersey. (Refer to Exhibit 4 for the
appropriate address and telephone number.)
OSHA's Highly Hazardous Chemicals NPRM
On July 17,1990, OSHA published a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), proposing a
new regulation entitled "Process Safety
Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals'1 (55
FR 29150). The NPRM proposes requirements
that will eliminate or mitigate the harm to
employees as a consequence of chemical releases
during the manufacturing or processing of highly
hazardous chemicals. OSHA's proposed rule
emphasizes management of hazards associated with
highly hazardous chemicals, and defines a "highly
hazardous chemical" as:
A substance possessing toxic, flammable,
reactive, or explosive properties.
The NPRM identifies 140 highly hazardous
chemicals and proposes threshold quantities for
each of the listed chemicals. The proposed
requirements are similar to the worker protection
standards issued under SARA Title I and the self-
implementing provisions of SARA Title III in that
each of these programs contains requirements for
emergency response planning and employee
training.
The NPRM requires an employer to
establish and implement an emergency action plan
under 29 CFR 1910.38(a). An emergency action
plan must include an evacuation plan through
which an employer identifies persons responsible
for an orderly exit and work area check in the
event of an emergency; and directs employees to
leave an emergency incident site, maintain a safe
distance, and call an appropriate emergency
response organization. However, if an employer's
highly hazardous chemical operation falls within
one of the activities covered by HAZWOPER, the
emergency response planning elements of 1910.120
apply. (Under HAZWOPER, an employer also
may prepare a 1910.38(a) plan if the employer
does not allow employees to respond to an
emergency. If employees are allowed to respond,
however, a more detailed emergency response plan
is required.) Title I, Title III, and the Highly
Hazardous Chemicals NPRM also require training
for workers commensurate with their assigned
duties.
Comparing General
Requirements Under 29
CFR Parts 1910 and
1926 with the Particular
Requirements of 29 CFR
1910.120
The occupational safety and health
standards published in 29 CFR set out minimum
requirements to ensure protection for all private
sector employees in the United States. The
general industry standards contained in Part 1910
of Title 29 were derived largely from standards
developed by industry consensus organizations and
non-OSHA Federal safety and health standards.
The 1910 requirements reflect practices already
recognized in most industrial sectors before there
was an Occupational Safety and Health
Administration. Part 1910, however, makes those
practices mandatory.
Many of the Part 1910 standards set out
generic specifications for worker tools, tolerances
and specifications for industrial structures,
requirements for installing equipment that make
the workplace safer (e.g., sprinkler systems), rules
for providing medical attention, and other general
health and safety practices applicable to all types
of employment. Other sections in Part 1910,
however, are specific to an identified activity or
industry; HAZWOPER is an example of the latter
type of standard.
Section 1910.120 (HAZWOPER) contains
specific requirements to minimize the health and
safety hazards associated with conducting
hazardous waste operations and emergency
response at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and
RCRA TSD facilities, and performing emergency
response operations without regard for location.
In some instances, 1910.120 incorporates general
worker protection provisions by reference. For
example, 1910.120(g), Engineering controls, work
practices, and personal protective equipment for
employee protection, requires employers engaged in
hazardous waste operations and emergency
response to follow the provisions in 1910.94
through 1910.100 in setting up controls to protect
employees from exposure to hazardous substances
and safety and health hazards. Those referenced
sections may apply to other industries and
activities as well, but HAZWOPER applies only to
hazardous waste operations and emergency
-------
response during the covered activities and
locations.
If ever there appears to be a conflict
between the general industry standards in
1910 or 1926 and HAZWOPER, the
HAZWOPER requirements take precedent
during the covered activities.
In addition to the requirements set forth
under Part 1910, OSHA codified regulations in 29
CFR 1926 Subpart C that set forth safety and
health standards specifically applicable to the
construction industry. Part 1926 Subpart C
includes safety standards for worker tools, and
other standards relevant to health and safety in the
construction environment (e.g., 29 CFR 1926.21
addresses programs for the education and training
of employees and employers).
Parts 1910 and 1926 both require employers
to provide whatever training and education is
appropriate for employees to perform a given task
safely. Appendix B in EPA's Health and Safety
Audit Guidelines briefly summarizes the OSHA
standards in 1910 and 1926 that may be most
applicable to hazardous waste site activities;
Exhibit 3 presents a list of these OSHA standards.
For additional information on the standards listed
in Exhibit 3 or on other OSHA standards, contact
your local OSHA Regional Office. (Refer to
Exhibit 4 for relevant addresses and telephone
numbers.)
Comparing the Section
1910.120 Standards and
the NFPA's Hazardous
Materials Incidents
Publications
Private organizations sometimes publish
consensus documents addressing subject matter
covered in Federal regulations. The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) has published two
highly relevant documents: Recommended Practice
for Responding to Hazardous Materials Incidents
(NFPA 471), and Standard for Professional
Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials
Incidents (NFPA 472). The NFPA standards are
not Federal regulations.

NFPA 471 offers guidance in identifying the
minimum competencies a responsible authority
should attain before responding to a hazardous
materials incident, and specifies operating
guidelines for a response. Like HAZWOPER,
NFPA 471 covers, among other things, planning
for an emergency response, ensuring that
responders have the proper equipment at their
disposal, and conducting an emergency response.
NFPA 472 is a competency standard for
workers who respond to hazardous materials
incidents. NFPA 472 training criteria differ from
the 1910.120 standards in that the former do not
-------
establish specific hourly training requirements for
emergency response personnel. There is no
Incident Commander category in NFPA 472, but
an Appendix to the standard does identify the role
of an Incident Commander.
Indeed, the NFPA publications on
hazardous materials incident response are similar
in approach and breadth of coverage to
HAZWOPER. In many instances, NFPA
references the Federal standards. You must
remember, however, that although the NFPA
documents provide useful guidance to emergency
response planners and responders, only the EPA
and OSHA standards are mandatory Federal
standards. If your organization falls within the
scope of 29 CFR 1910.120, you must comply.
Therefore, in any conflict between the . NFPA
Standard/Practice and the Title I worker protection
standards, the Federal standards govern.
