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.
Available Courses
Upcoming HAZWOPER Classes
40-Hour HAZWOPER Training
This course is designed for workers involved in hazardous waste operations with a higher potential for exposure to hazardous substances. It is commonly required for site cleanup crews, remediation workers, and others performing hands-on work at regulated hazardous waste sites.
24-Hour HAZWOPER Training
This course is intended for workers with more limited exposure to hazardous substances or those performing specific tasks under supervision at regulated sites. It is often the right option when full 40-hour training is not required.
8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher
This annual refresher course is for workers who have already completed their initial HAZWOPER training. It reviews important safety topics, reinforces key responsibilities, and helps workers maintain OSHA compliance year after year.
