APPENDIX E TO §1910.120─TRAINING CURRICULUM GUIDELINES.
The following non-mandatory general criteria may be used for assistance in developing site-specific training curriculum used to meet the training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e); 29 CFR 1910.120(p)(7). (p)(8)(iii); and 29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6), (q)(7), and (q)(8). These are generic guidelines and they are not presented as a complete training curriculum for any specific employer. Site-specific training programs must be developed on the basis of a needs assessment of the hazardous waste site, RCRA/TSDF, or emergency response operation in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120.
It is noted that the legal requirements are set forth in the regulatory text of §1910.120. The guidance set forth here presents a highly effective program that in the areas covered would meet or exceed the regulatory requirements. In addition, other approaches could meet the regulatory requirements.
Suggested General Criteria

“Competent”means possessing the skills, knowledge, experience, and Judgment to perform assigned tasks or activities satisfactorily as determined by the employer,
“Demonstration”means the showing by actual use of equipment or procedures.
“Hands-on training”means training in a simulated work environment that permits each student to have experience performing tasks, making decisions, or using equipment appropriate to the job assignment for which the training is being conducted.
“Initial training”means training required prior to beginning work.
“Lecture”means an interactive discourse with a class lead by an instructor.
“Proficient”means meeting a stated level of achievement.
“Site-specific”means individual training directed to the operations of a specific job site.
