operational and SEH staffs will specify and document the appropriate training
requirements. With the exception of the National Strike Force at a spill response and
Aids to Navigation personnel conducting battery recovery operations, participation
beyond a supervisory or contractual role by Coast Guard personnel in the post-
emergency response phase is very rare.
(2) Enclosure (3) lists required training levels for Coast Guard personnel engaged in
emergency responses. However, as there are many varieties of response operations
and Coast Guard involvement, training levels may need to be specified for units and
personnel not included in enclosure (3)'s matrix; clarified for specific units,
personnel, or operations; or changed to meet local conditions. Modifications to
Enclosure (3)'s training level matrix will be determined by the applicable Safety and
Environmental Health (SEH) staffs, the appropriate operational and response staffs,
and individual unit commands:
(a) G-WKS shall coordinate with G-M, G-O, and Command Staffs of
Headquarters' units to determine training levels that will be specified in
Commandant Instructions and Headquarters Unit Instructions
(b) MLC (kse)'s shall coordinate with Area staffs to determine training levels that
will be specified in Area Instructions
(c) MLC (kse) detached Safety and Environmental Health Officers (SEHO's) shall
coordinate with District, Group, and Unit Command Staffs to determine training
levels and will specify these in District, Group, and Unit Instructions
(d) ICS Command Staff Safety Officers shall determine training levels and specify
these in Site Safety Plans
b. Training Providers. There are four primary sources for HAZWOPER training: Training
Center (TRACEN) Yorktown, the MLC (kse) staffs and the detached SEHO's, Unit-level
Trainers, and Non-Coast Guard training resources.
(1) TRACEN Yorktown's Marine Safety Entry Level Port Operations Course (ELPOC)
incorporates the training requirements for First Responder Awareness, First
Responder Operations, and On-scene Incident Commander. Attendees of this course
will receive documentation regarding completion of these training levels. Based on
appropriate analyses, e.g. Job Task Analysis, Front End Analysis, etc., other
TRACEN Yorktown Schools may revise course curricula as necessary in order to
provide training and documentation linked to HAZWOPER training levels.
(2) Each MLC (kse), in conjunction with ISC's, will ensure SEHO's and other staff are
qualified and available to provide HAZWOPER training during regular unit visits.
(3) District and Area staffs will ensure that there are sufficient numbers of qualified unit-
level trainers available to conduct training in their AOR. Examples of unit-level
trainers include District Response Advisory Team (DRAT) members and qualified
individuals at ISC's, Marine Safety units, Groups, ANT's, Stations, and Cutters.
