Frequently asked question:
Q: Is completing the HAZMAT IC course or seeking DPSST accreditation as a HAZMAT IC required in Oregon?
A: The short answer is that the requirement is based on the local Agency Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or employer and their policy for qualifying personnel to serve as a HazMat Incident Commander.
OSHA, under CFR1910.120(q)(6)(v), does outline that incident commanders who will assume control of the incident scene beyond the first responder awareness level shall receive at least 24 hours of training equal to the first responder operations level and in addition have competency in the following areas and the employer shall so certify:
-Know and be able to implement the employer's incident command system.
-Know how to implement the employer's emergency response plan.
-Know and understand the hazards and risks associated with employees working in chemical protective clothing.
-Know how to implement the local emergency response plan.
-Know of the state emergency response plan and of the Federal Regional Response Team.
-Know and understand the importance of decontamination procedures.
The NFPA HAZMAT Incident Commander course being offered by OSFM allows personnel to complete a standardized curriculum to meet these OSHA competencies.
AHJs may also use this training, on top of current first responder operations training, to meet the OSHA training hour requirement.
In addition, completing the course and associated DPSST taskbook offers the opportunity to seek accreditation as additional documentation of meeting the OSHA competency.
