This section of the ERP lists the inventory of PPE and emergency response equipment and materials. The ERP must include instructions on how the PPE and equipment and materials are to be used, their limitations, and in what situations emergency responders will use them.
HAZWOPER requires the IC to be aware of the equipment and PPE available during an emergency. In addition, responders trained to the HAZMAT technician or HAZMAT specialist levels must be trained in the selection and proper use of PPE.
Emergency responders must be made aware of the inventory in order to utilize the PPE and emergency response equipment effectively.
If the ERP does not address the types and uses of PPE and emergency response equipment to be used, then cite (q)(2)(xi).
Failure to properly train employees in the selection and proper use of PPE shall be cited under 1910.120(q)(6).
