Hill /Stephen Blanchard/ Assistant Chief Hydrologist for Operations Subject: Interim Procedures for Arranging Safety Training This memorandum describes interim procedures for securing the services of qualified training vendors to present the 8-hour "Working at Hazardous Waste Sites" refresher course required annually by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ruling, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. Other safety courses can be arranged in the same manner. These procedures will be revised slightly upon the issuance of the Delegations of Personnel Management Authority in the near future. Water Resources Division (WRD) District Offices can arrange for the "Working at Hazardous Waste Sites" refresher training by contacting their servicing personnel offices in Reston, Norcross, Denver or Menlo Park. You will need to provide the servicing office with the preferred training dates, the number of participants expected, the names of vendors that you would like to have included in the competitive search process, and the location of the training facility. WRD offices will be responsible for providing slide and overhead projectors, chalk or marker boards, an easel, a VCR and monitor, and an open area outside for field exercises. The training vendor will furnish manuals and all other materials necessary to conduct the class. Training officials in the servicing personnel offices will perform a competitive search of available vendors to determine the vendor which offers the best quality of service and price. Upon the selection of a vendor, the requesting office will be asked to submit a training form (SF 182) to obligate the funds and certify the payment of the approved training expenses. The personnel offices request a minimum of 30 days notice, in advance of preferred training dates, to perform the competitive search and make a selection. WRD has provided the personnel offices with a list of qualified training vendors that can be considered in the competitive process. Questions pertaining to these procedures may be directed to Jan Templeton (703-648-7454, jtemplet), or Sherry Smith (703-648-7453, sasmith).
