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.
