HAZWOPER 24-Hour

OSHA requires businesses that operate sites where employees, managers, and supervisors experience limited exposure to hazardous materials to provide 24-Hours of initial training. Additionally, those who only occasionally visit the site may be required to have a level of HAZWOPER training as well. While workers in these roles are not generally exposed to high levels of hazardous substances like those encountered by workers engaged in regular cleanup, treatment, storage, or disposal activities at hazardous waste operations and emergency response (HAZWOPER) sites, they still require training to ensure compliance with required safety practices and minimize the occurrence of injuries and health risks. Get OSHA Instructors offers the HAZWOPER 24-Hour Course for All Industries to meet these mandatory training requirements.

This 24-Hour HAZWOPER Training is vital in helping workers, managers, and supervisors meet initial OSHA safety requirements. This mandatory training teaches employees of all levels about the potential hazards they may face when working with hazardous waste, as well as how to respond when these problems arise and how best to mitigate the chances they will occur. Educating employees on these safety practices can help minimize the chance of health risk and improve the overall safety culture of the workplace.

NOTICE: Students also need to obtain additional site-specific training, along with at least one day of actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.

The HAZWOPER 24-Hour Course for All Industries helps ensure all participants are aware of common workplace hazards associated with HAZWOPER sites, as well as the best practices and controls needed to reduce on-site incidents.

Upon completion of the 24-Hour HAZWOPER online training course and required site-specific training, participants will be prepared to work in accordance with OSHA’s HAZWOPER Regulation, preparing them to identify and address hazards to maintain a safe work environment.
