This course is specifically designed for workers who are involved in clean-up operations, voluntary clean-up operations, emergency response operations, and storage, disposal, or treatment of hazardous substances or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. This course covers topics included in 29 CFR 1910.120. Please note that hands-on training is not required for the 40 hour Hazwoper course; although hands-on is the preferred training method by OSHA. To be in compliance with OSHA regulations, the employee must complete 3 days of hands-on training offered by the employer Hazmat training 10% off.
Duration: 32 Hours On-Line, 8-hours classroom training for supervisors
Completion Requirements: Students will be allowed to proceed at their own pace in this interactive, online training program. Students must complete a total of 32 hours of online training and 8 hours in person at a Compliance Solutions training course (see the last page of this outline for tentative dates and locations). After the practical training is complete, students will be required to pass a final exam with a test score of 70% or better.
Training Objective: The purpose of this course is to ensure awareness and promote safety among employees who may be exposed to chemical hazards in the work-site. The objective is to ensure that employees operate in the safest possible manner in situations where contact with potentially hazardous materials is likely.
OSHA environmental safety training classes for hazardous waste disposal course
At the conclusion of the course, students will:

- 2. Learn the importance of the Health and Safety Plan (HSP)
- 3. Incorporate knowledge of what to do in case of site emergencies
- 4. Use appropriate safety methods and work practice controls
- 5. Recognize signs and labels that are used to alert personnel of danger involving hazardous material
- 6. Receive certification for HAZWOPER training under 29 CFR 1910.120

This course is for hazardous waste occasional site workers which require that the worker receives a minimum of 24 hours of instruction off the site, and a minimum of one day actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor. Our course meets the 24 hours of instruction off the site, and we recommend as per industry standard that the student receives the additional day of field experience from their employer or potential employer along with a proper medical evaluation. According to the 29 CFR 1910.120 (e)(3)(ii); this course is intended for workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task such as, but not limited to, ground water monitoring, land surveying, or geophysical surveying and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits.
(In order to maintain your initial Hazwoper 24 Hour (Occasional Site Worker) Certifications, 8 Hours of Annual Refresher Training is required)

HAZWOPER 24 Hour is required for employees visiting an Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Operation mandated by the Government.
This course covers broad issues pertaining to the hazard recognition at work sites. OSHA has developed the HAZWOPER program to protect the workers working at hazardous sites and devised extensive regulations to ensure their safety and health. This course, while identifying different types of hazards, also suggests possible precautions and protective measures to reduce or eliminate hazards at the work place.
HAZWOPER applies to five distinct groups of employers and their employees. This includes any employees who are exposed or potentially exposed to hazardous substances-- including hazardous waste--and who are engaged in one of the following operations as specified by 1910.120(a)(1)(i-v) and 1926.65(a)(1)(i-v):
Clean-up operations--required by a governmental body, whether federal, state, local, or other involving hazardous substances-- that are conducted at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites;
Corrective actions involving clean-up operations at sites covered by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.);
Voluntary clean-up operations at sites recognized by federal, state, local, or other governmental body as uncontrolled hazardous waste sites;
Operations involving hazardous wastes that are conducted at treatment, storage, and disposal facilities regulated by Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 264 and 265 pursuant to RCRA, or by agencies under agreement with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement RCRA regulations; and
Emergency response operations for releases of, or substantial threats of release of, hazardous substances regardless of the location of the hazard.

The term "hazardous waste" comprises all toxic chemicals, radioactive materials, and biologic or infectious waste. These materials threaten workers through occupational exposure and the general public in their homes, communities, and general environment. Exposure to these materials can occur near the site of generation, along the path of its transportation, and near their ultimate disposal sites. Most hazardous waste results from industrial processes that yield unwanted people that use byproducts, defective products, and spilled materials. The generation and disposal of hazardous wastes is controlled through a variety of international and national regulations.
Course Outcomes:
- Understand the purpose of OSHA and its role in regulating occupational safety
- Encourage the use of Material Safety Data sheets (MSDS) to identify and properly handle hazardous materials
- Use Site Characterization to establish problems that may exist in your workplace and measures that can be implemented to eliminate hazards
- Implement procedures for treating workers in the event of hazardous exposure
- Identify hazardous materials existent in the workplace and the possible methods, symptoms and preventative measures of exposure
- Emphasize the importance of personal protective equipment in limiting hazardous exposure
- Familiarize yourself with materials, compounds and mixtures that may present flammable, explosive, chemical or radiological hazards
- Establish an effective Site Control Program to limit the risk of exposure to only those working in the hazardous work zone
Topics Covered:
- Hazardous Chemical Awareness
- Hazard and Safety Analysis
- Personal Protective Equipment
