Study Notes
Safety Professional's Reference and Study Guide
- The third edition of the Safety Professional’s Reference and Study Guide was published in 2020 by Taylor & Francis Group.
- The book contains information about ventilation (covered in chapter 7), hydrostatics and hydraulics (discussed in chapter 8), and accident causation and investigation techniques (described in chapter 17).
- Chapter 21 covers hazardous materials and waste management.
- Information about hazardous materials and waste management covers the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) of 1972, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1986, and the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR 1910.1200).
- RCRA outlines hazardous waste generator categories and compliance with the legislation.
- CERCLA addresses the cleanup of abandoned hazardous waste sites.
- SARA amended CERCLA and included provisions for emergency planning, community right-to-know, and toxic chemical release reporting.
- TSCA regulates the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, and disposal of chemical substances.
- EPCRA requires facilities to develop emergency response plans and to report chemical releases.
- FIFRA regulates pesticides and their use.
- AHERA sets standards for asbestos abatement.
- The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) ensures workers are protected from exposure to hazardous chemicals.
