This online 8 hour refresher training course satisfies the OSHA annual HAZWOPER refresher training requirements for workers, managers, and supervisors as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65.

Every day, workers in various business industries come in close contact with hazardous materials. Without proper safety training, exposure to hazardous materials can pose short- and long-term threats to their health and safety. The federal Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard regulates hazardous waste operations from inception to disposal.

People who work in hazardous waste operations and those involved in emergency response must complete annual HAZWOPER 8-hour refresher training as required by 29 CFR 1910.120. Our online certification course provides in-depth training in hazard recognition, exposure limits, general site safety concerns, and more.
