USG Employees Participate in Training
Nine employees of United States Gypsum (USG) in Southard recently participated in an 8 Hour Hazwoper Refresher training. The employees came from all departments in the plant. Hazwoper is an acronym for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response.
"The training gets us in compliance with state and federal regulations. We need to do this type of refresher annually." stated Kent Schlotthauer, USG Hazwoper Coordinator. "We staged a diesel spill incident as a drill. Our instructor critiqued it to see what we needed to improve upon in the case of an actual incident."
Ralph Pierce was the instructor for the training and the training was set up by Steve Kliewer from Northwest Technology Center.
