• HAZWOPER
• OSHA issued the Hazardous Waste Operations and
  Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standards, 29 CFR
  1910.120 and 29 CFR 1926.65, to protect workers
  and enable them to handle hazardous substances
  safely and effectively. The HAZWOPER standard for
  the construction industry (29 CFR 1926.65) is
  identical to general industry one (29 CFR
  1910.120).
• The HAZWOPER standard provides employers,
  emergency response workers, and other workers
  potentially exposed to hazardous substances
  information and training criteria to improve
  workplace safety and health, and reduce workplace
  injuries and illnesses that could occur from
  exposures to hazardous substances.
