[edit] Wrong focus?
It seems like at some point this article was changed to reflect an environmentalist agenda rather than keeping it closely tied to OSHA. I've removed some of the more obvious POV for now. --DachannienTalkContrib 14:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Actually HAZWOPER is now an international term for persons who clean up the environment or respond to emergencies like this one http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25081388 an Airplane Crash or clean up places that may be in remote regions of the world. Their is also EPA 311 and USACOE EM385 and other sources that cite HAZWOPER beyond OSHA. In some cases others who are not regulated by OSHA have adopted the term and certify workers by qualified consultants for example in the United Arab Emirates like certain Global indenity's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.75.255.201 (talk) 05:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
