HAZWOPER Training Course Overview

Description:
The 24 hour HAZWOPER online training course is intended to meet the classroom training requirements in OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120 for workers on a regulated site who have limited exposure to hazardous substances, but may still participate in clean-up operations, operations involving hazardous waste at a facility or controlled emergency response operations

Workers must have 24 hours of initial training and one day of supervised field experience before they are allowed to enter the site.

The one day field experience under a trained, experienced supervisor is the responsibility of the student’s employer or potential employer. This training course also applies to workers on site only occasionally, for a specific limited task.

Free Supplemental: GHS Hazardous Communication (HAZCom) 1-hr Course

In many states, this training must be repeated on an annual basis.

This supplemental course provides students with training on the changes implemented to the HAZCOM Standard brought about by the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, in accordance with OSHA’s HazCom Regulation: 29 CFR 1910.1200.

HAZWOPER Training Levels

The OSHA HAZWOPER Standard (29 CFR Part 1910.120) – requires that all employees that are exposed to or handle hazardous materials must take a 24hr or 40hr HAZWOPER Training Course and an 8hr Annual Refresher, at a level required by their job function and responsibility, before they are permitted to engage in hazardous waste operations that could expose them to hazardous substances. On-site, job-specific equipment training provided by the employer is essential to fulfill the HAZWOPER requirement.

Every year after the initial training requirement has been met, workers are required to take an 8-hour HAZWOPER refresher course. This refresher course is designed to meet the annual training requirement for hazardous waste operations and emergency response (HAZWOPER) workers.
