All Glacier field employees are trained and continuously updated in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), air monitoring equipment and decontamination procedures. All have a minimum of 40 hours Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response training as defined by 29 CFR 1910.120 and current certificate. Supervisors receive additional training with an emphasis on safety decision making.
Added project specific training is provided through weekly company and site specific safety meetings. This training includes but is not limited to confined space entry, trenching and shoring, fall protection, forklift operation, and emergency procedures.
Under Glacier’s medical surveillance program, each field employee receives a baseline and annual physical examination. Copies of training certificates and medical clearance letters for Glacier personnel are kept on-file at the Corporate Headquarters and are available upon request.
In addition, all field employees are required to participate in Glacier’s mandatory Anti-drug and Alcohol Misuse Prevention program. The plans subject new employees to pre-employment testing, and existing field personnel to random testing for controlled substances. The plans meet all requirements set forth in 49.CFR.199 and the Department of Transportation. |
