Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide HAZWOPER-trained spill response technicians?
Spill Response Technicians (HAZWOPER)
Yes.
KDT provides spill response technicians trained to the OSHA HAZWOPER requirements the work demands, as individual technicians, full crews, or supervisors who fill the recovery and protection positions in an ICS-based Unified Command.
Positions
- Field technicians
- 3 positions
- Supervision (ICS Operations Section)
- 6 positions
- Safety
- 1 position
Spill response technicians are the people who put the boom out, run the skimmers and vac trucks, clean the shoreline and work the decon line. Under OSHA's HAZWOPER standard, 29 CFR 1910.120, anyone doing that work needs training matched to their role and exposure, from the 40-hour general site worker course and supervised field time to the annual 8-hour refresher.
KDT staffs spill technicians trained to the requirements the work demands, with the supervisors to lead them. On a larger spill we fill positions inside the Operations Section of the ICS-based response, organized the way the USCG and EPA Unified Command expects, so our people plug into the existing structure instead of working alongside it.
We work for the responsible party, the OSRO or the agency as part of their response, adding people and equipment where they're short.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide HAZWOPER-trained spill response technicians?
Yes. We staff spill technicians and supervisors trained to the OSHA HAZWOPER requirements the work demands, as individuals, crews or ICS group leadership.
Is KDT an OSRO?
No. We don't claim OSRO classification. We support the responsible party, the OSRO and the agencies with trained people and equipment inside their response.
What HAZWOPER training do spill workers need?
It depends on the role and exposure. General site workers typically need the 40-hour course with supervised field experience and an 8-hour annual refresher; some limited-exposure roles need less. Supervisors need additional training. We match training to the job.
Can your people work inside our Unified Command?
Yes. Our supervisors work to ICS and the USCG and EPA response structure, take assignments from the IAP and report through the Operations Section like any other resource.
