OSHA-Required Training
HAZWOPER Training
HAZWOPER stands for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. It is OSHA-required training for workers involved in hazardous waste cleanup, site work, or emergency response activities.
This training helps workers understand the risks of hazardous materials, use protective equipment properly, and respond safely in dangerous situations. Topics may include hazard recognition, exposure risks, decontamination, emergency procedures, and safe work practices.
OSHA requires HAZWOPER training to help protect workers who may be exposed to hazardous substances and to reduce the risk of injury, illness, or improper response during hazardous operations.
