40-hr
HAZWOPER: OSHA regulations under 29 CFR 1910.120
require 40 hours of Safety Training for hazardous waste site
workers and supervisors involved in activities that expose
or potentially expose them to hazardous substances and
health hazards above permissible levels. This ‘hands on’
course covers all regulatory requirements. Site Simulations
are conducted (approximately 30% are ‘hands-on’. Topics
include Chemistry of Hazmat, Health Effects of Hazmat,
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Site Safety & Safe
Work Practice, Confined Space Awareness, Excavation,
Radiological Hazards and Emergency Procedures and Spill
Response. Our emphasis is the protection of workers.
8-hr
Annual HAZWOPER Refresher: This course provides that
required refresher training for the 40 and 24-hour
certifications. This course reviews the required subject
matter and provides updates on regulatory changes within the
last year. In order to maintain certification, personnel
must take the course within 365 days of their previous
graduation date.
24-hr
HAZWOPER: Not all personnel require the 40-hr HAZWOPER. For
individuals whose job function requires occasional or
limited exposure to hazardous materials, the 24-hr HAZWOPER
will meet OSHA’s requirement. Examples of personnel
requiring this training include sales and administrative
professionals, drivers, office staff, plant and
manufacturing personnel, sampling technician or anyone whose
job function may include the possibility of limited
exposure.
