Which standard does not usually apply to HAZWOPER situations?

The standard that does not typically apply to HAZWOPER situations is related to Subpart O - Machinery and Machine Guarding. HAZWOPER focuses on the safety and health requirements that address hazardous waste operations, emergency response, and the associated risks. The standards primarily relevant to HAZWOPER include those that pertain to hazardous materials, personal protective equipment, and toxic and hazardous substances, as these categories directly involve the handling and management of hazardous materials and the necessary precautions to prevent exposure.

Subpart O, which covers general requirements for working with machinery and machine guarding, addresses aspects related to equipment safety and operational safeguards but does not directly connect to the specific hazards associated with hazardous waste operations as outlined under HAZWOPER regulations. Therefore, while machinery safety is essential in many work environments, it is not a primary focus of HAZWOPER, distinguishing it from standards that are more closely aligned with hazardous waste operations and emergency response procedures.
