2007 OSC Readiness Training Program Evaluation Report Mercury Response Instructors: Glenn Adams, EPA Region 4 Mark Durno, EPA Region 5 Greg Harper, Weston Solutions, Inc. Mark Johnson, ATSDR Steve Renninger, EPA Region 5 This 4-hour course provided OSCs with guidance to use when dealing with issues associated with regulations, response, monitoring, health concerns, toxicology, and cleanup pertinent to sites contaminated with mercury. The workshop focused primarily on complex residential contamination sites. Participants received a detailed guidebook and checklist that will assist them through all phases of cleanup at a residential site contaminated with mercury, from initial notification through final restoration. A number of case studies and multi-media demonstrations that documented the complexities of issues associated with mercury cleanups were presented, as well as the difficulties OSCs have encountered and the successes they have achieved. Additionally, the course offered guidance and an example on how to craft a mercury outreach program to better educate responders, health professionals, and the public.
