HAZWOPER Training FAQ

What is HAZWOPER training?

HAZWOPER stands for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. It is the OSHA standard at 29 CFR 1910.120 (and 29 CFR 1926.65 for construction) that requires training for workers who clean up hazardous waste sites, work at RCRA treatment, storage and disposal (TSD) facilities, or respond to hazardous substance releases.

Who needs 40 hour HAZWOPER training?

General site workers at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, such as laborers, equipment operators and remediation technicians, who may be exposed to hazardous substances at or above permissible exposure limits must complete 40 hours of off-site instruction plus 3 days of supervised field experience under 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(i).

What is the difference between 40 hour and 24 hour HAZWOPER?

The 40-hour course is for general site workers with potential exposure above permissible limits. The 24-hour course is for occasional site workers, or workers in areas already monitored and characterized where exposures are below permissible limits and respirators are not required, per 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) and (iii).

How often do I need a HAZWOPER refresher?

OSHA requires 8 hours of refresher training every year (29 CFR 1910.120(e)(8)) for workers who completed 40-hour or 24-hour HAZWOPER. Supervisors also take the annual refresher, and many take the 8-hour supervisor refresher.

Is online HAZWOPER training accepted by OSHA?

Yes. Online instruction can satisfy the classroom portion of HAZWOPER training when it covers the required topics and the trainee has access to a qualified trainer for questions. Employers remain responsible for any site-specific instruction and the supervised field experience OSHA requires.

How fast do I get my HAZWOPER certificate?

Your certificate of completion is available to download and print immediately after you finish the course and pass the final exam. A wallet card is included.

Can I take HAZWOPER training in Spanish?

Yes. The OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER Training is available in a full Spanish-language version.

Do you offer Cal/OSHA HAZWOPER?

Yes. Cal/OSHA 40-hour, 24-hour and 8-hour refresher courses aligned to Title 8 CCR 5192 are available, as well as Cal/OSHA TSDF RCRA versions.

Do you offer group or company HAZWOPER training?

Yes. Add every course your team needs to the cart, set the number of seats for each, and check out once. For purchase orders or large groups, call +1-866-429-6742 or email sales@hazwoper-osha.com.

Do you have free HAZWOPER practice tests?

Yes. Free practice quizzes with answers and explanations cover the 40 hour and 8 hour refresher, PPE levels, air monitoring, decontamination and site control, first responder awareness and RCRA hazardous waste.
