Hazwoper Hazmat 40 Hour Test

Day 4 of the HAZWOPER - HAZMAT 40 hour
class. HAZWOPER stands for Hazardous Waste Operations Emergency Response
and "hazmat" is short for hazardous materials. Day 4 consisted
of a few minor sections we had not gotten too yet, like ergonomics in
the workplace, safe ways to lift and move heavy objects, hazards and
various methods of injuries and trauma that is a threat to us while
performing emergency response on the water etc... and finally the test.
The test was 50 multiple choice questions. I scored a 100 (for the curious)
and wasn't that difficult but required you to pay attention to the films
and lectures that we sat through for the 40 hour class! Taken July 2010 |
