1. CURRENTLY THERE ARE OPENINGS AVAILABLE IN THE EMERGENCY

TRAIN THE TRAINER (TTT) COURSE REQUIRED BY REF A.
2. PER REF A, PERSONNEL ASSIGNED TO UNITS ENGAGED IN EMERGENCY
RESPONSE OPERATIONS WHICH HAVE OR MAY POTENTIALLY HAVE RELEASES OF
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR OIL SPILLS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE EMERGENCY
RESPONSE/HAZWOPER TRAINING AT THE FIRST RESPONDER AWARENESS AND/OR
THE OPERATIONS LEVEL. LIKEWISE, PERSONNEL WHO ARE LIKELY TO
WITNESS, BUT NOT RESPOND TO, SUCH AN INCIDENT NEED TO HAVE TRAINING
AT THE FIRST RESPONDER AWARENESS LEVEL. FOR BOTH OF THESE TRAINING
LEVELS, THERE ARE INITIAL AND REFRESHER TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. DUE

ADEQUATELY FOR THE COURSE, STUDENTS CAN FIND REFERENCE MATERIAL AT
THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: WWW.USCG.MIL/SAFETY/EMERGENCY_RESPONSE.HTM.
A HAZWOPER PRE-TEST WILL BE GIVEN ON THE FIRST DAY TO ENSURE
STUDENTS HAVE THIS REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE.

DESIGNATED BY THEIR COMMAND AS EMERGENCY RESPONSE/HAZWOPER
INSTRUCTORS. SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS (SEHO) AND
THEIR STAFFS ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND. UNIT
SAFETY OFFICERS, SAFETY MANAGERS AND UNIT SAFETY COORDINATORS
SHOULD ENSURE THEIR UNITS HAVE SUFFICIENT HAZWOPER INSTRUCTORS TO
MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF REFS A AND B. ATTENDEES ARE EXPECTED TO
GIVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE/HAZWOPER UNIT LEVEL TRAINING UPON
