ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE TRAINING PROGRAM
The Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR) is responsible for the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) program for protecting the public and the environment from releases or potential
releases of hazardous materials. Releases can result from accidents and discharges at facilities where
chemicals are handled or disposed of. Releases of hazardous materials may require an immediate response
by government officials to control the incident. In addition, extensive investigation and restoration actions
that extend over a long period of time may be required.
As part of EPA's comprehensive program for protecting the public and the environment from hazardous
materials, the Emergency Response Division of OERR has developed the Environmental Response Training
Program (ERTP). The courses in this program are designed for personnel who respond to emergencies or
who investigate and clean up abandoned hazardous waste sites. Training is provided in safety and health as
well as in the various technical operations needed to identify, evaluate, and control hazardous substances that
have been released.
The courses developed by EPA's Environmental Response Team, and presented by contract personnel, last
from 1-5 days. These courses emphasize the practical application of lecture material through problem-solving
sessions, case studies, demonstrations, and exercises using field instruments. Participants are provided with
fundamental information about the subject of the course. Complemented by work experience and individual
effort, the courses provide a foundation upon which individuals can further refine and develop their own
knowledge and skills in a variety of response activities.
