A recipient of the material, other than the Federal Government, may not reproduce it without permission of the copyright owner. The material was prepared for use by experienced instructors in the training of persons who are or who anticipate being employed at a meth lab cleanup worksite. Authors of this material have prepared it for the training of this category of workers as of the date specified on the title page. Users are cautioned that the subject is constantly evolving. Therefore, the material may require additions, deletions, or modifications to incorporate the effects of that evolution occurring after the date of this material preparation. Disclaimer There is currently no Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation spe- cifically regarding the cleanup of methamphetamine (meth) labs. Since a meth lab can often be considered a hazardous waste site due to the toxic mix of chemicals that go into produc- tion, we will regularly refer to OSHA’s hazardous waste site regulations. This regulation, 29 CFR 1910.120, requires training material to cover basic hazard recognition, use of provided personal protective equipment, basic hazard control, decontamination procedures, and other relevant standard operating procedures. At the time these materials were prepared, Colorado had the most comprehensive state regulations for meth lab cleanup procedures. This introductory program is therefore based largely off the Colorado laws and standards, with references also to Washington and Tennes- see state standards. Additional training is necessary to perform many activities. These activities include imple- menting the emergency response plan, identifying materials using monitoring instruments, selecting protective equipment, and performing advanced control containment or confine- ment. Additional site-specific training for emergency response must be provided so that you understand how to recognize and respond to alarms at the site and can carry out any role which may be assigned during a response. For information about further training, consult the training instructor, your company safety and health plan, or your company health and safety representative.
