Level
Operations Level
Technician
Specialist
, Incident Commander

Identification of Resources
Scenerios
What is the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)? - An extension
and expansion of CERCLA required the EPA to issue regulations mandating

provide the government with detailed information about the hazardous materials they
work ith and have on site.
What is the Hazard Communication Right to Know (HAZCOM)? - HAZCOM serves as

appropriately.
What is the OPA 90? - Specifies the following:
-The federal government will direct responses to spills
-Area committees (including the Coast Guard) must develop Area Contingency Plans for
spills
-Owner/operators of facilities and vessels must prepare their own Response Plans.
The plans developed by each of these entities are valuable resources that will help you
determine what to do if you encounter an oil spill or hazardous materials release.
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER)? - The primary
focus is safeguarding you, your shipmates, and the public from the dangers of oil spills
and hazardous material releases while responding to incidents outside of your unit (29
CFR 1910.120)
Following is a list of authorities who should always be notified of a hazardous meterial
