Course Details

Working with hazardous waste creates job site safety issues is workers don’t fully understand what to do. However, training to understand the basics of working around this waste reduces the risks of workplace incidents.

Training for a HAZWOPER certificate ensures you meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and maintain safety standards.

Even those not directly related to hazardous waste industries, such as emergency responders, often require this training to keep themselves and others around them safe. A HAZWOPER certificate verifies the completion of this type of safety training course.

What Is Hazwoper Training?

HAZWOPER is an acronym for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response training. A certificate in this field meets the requirements set by OSHA for training. HAZWOPER training teaches workers what to do if they need to handle exposure to waste in their daily work or in unintentional incidents.

Not everyone needs the same type of training. For example, some people only need eight-hour refresher courses whereas others require 24 hours or 40 hours for a certificate.

Therefore, each individual may need to take a different course, depending on their role in a company’s safety and how often they work with hazardous waste.

However, those who do not receive a certificate in HAZWOPER training may not work with hazardous waste, according to OSHA 1910.120(e)(6). Additionally, each worker who must have HAZWOPER training will also need eight hours of refresher information annually.

Who Needs Hazardous Waste Operations Training?

OSHA requires several groups to have a certificate showing HAZWOPER training, including:

  • Emergency responders
  • Uncontrolled hazardous waste site operators
  • Hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility personnel
  • Safety managers

Generally, anyone covered by the HAZWOPER requirements for training – both employers and employees – should take one of several HAZWOPER courses, based on their work.

Those who work full time at a hazardous waste site need 40 hours of training, while part-time or occasional site workers need 24 hours of training.
