What’s in the HAZWOPER 40 Course?
HAZWOPER training is designed to reduce the risks of chemical exposure to employees who will be working on an uncontrolled hazardous waste site or a treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF). Our Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 40-hour training is fully aligned with these regulations, as well as those governing employees working in hazardous waste operations or emergency response.
Our comprehensive 40-Hour course reviews a variety of topics that relate to HAZWOPER, including site characterization, hazard recognition, toxicology, radiation hazards, personal protective equipment (PPE), and decontamination methods. It also covers best practices for preparing for and responding to emergencies that involve hazardous waste. This training course is OSHA-aligned and covers OSHA’s classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on equipment and anatomy, maintenance and inspections, safe operations and stability, common hazards, and more. This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. Upon successful completion of the course and exam, you will have immediate online access to your certificate of completion. You have the option to download the practical evaluations for the specific course. Although the practical evaluation is not a required part of the online course, we strongly recommend completing it under the supervision of your employer to ensure your mastery of the safety training topics.

Why Do I Need HAZWOPER 40 Safety Training?
OSHA’s HAZWOPER standard requires all employees who are exposed to or handle hazardous materials must take a 24-hour or 40-hour HAZWOPER training Course before they are permitted to engage in hazardous waste operations (which training they need will depend on an employee’s job function and responsibilities). Additionally, an 8-hour refresher training must be completed annually.
A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HAZWOPER?
The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) was enacted by OSHA in 1990. It is designed to protect workers involved in the initial stages of a chemical release emergency, the subsequent clean-up of a site once the emergency has been stabilized, and the clean-up of previous chemical contamination.
Who needs HAZWOPER training?
HAZWOPER is designed to reduce the risks of chemical exposure to employees who will be working on an uncontrolled hazardous waste site or a treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF). It is also designed for emergency responders.
More specifically, these employees need HAZWOPER:
- Those who may be exposed to high concentrations of poisonous substances
- Those who may be exposed to chemicals that pose explosion or fire hazards
- Personnel entering sites with IDLH atmospheres
- Personnel who may be exposed to an oxygen-deficient atmosphere
- Those who are in charge of emergency response, including evacuations due to IDLH conditions
- Those performing confined space entry
- Anyone who supervises employees performing the above work
Can training be completed online?
Traditionally, HAZWOPER has been taught through conventional, instructor-led programs. However, with technology improvements, online safety training is becoming more accessible to employers. It offers a great deal of flexibility and can be a more cost-effective option than on-site training. HAZWOPER training is well-suited to the eLearning format.
Of course, there are limits to taking HAZWOPER courses online. There are essential components to HAZWOPER that can only be completed on site (donning and doffing PPE, for example). We provide a checklist to help guide trainers, if needed, in this practical assessment; this allows each employer to use the specific PPE and equipment they’ll have onsite. It also allows employers to address site- or job- specific hazards.
How long is HAZWOPER certification good for?
HAZWOPER certification is valid for 12 months, at which time refresher (8-hour) training is required in order to stay certified.
It has been more than 12 months since I took my initial HAZWOPER training or refresher training. What do I do now?
Employees should stay up-to-date in the refresher (8-hour) training; however, it is understandable that courses may be missed because of unavoidable circumstances. If you have missed a refresher training course, you must attend the next available course. If a substantial amount of time has passed since your initial (24- or 40-hour) or refresher training, then you may need to repeat the initial training. The time frame within which it would be necessary to provide extensive retraining must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Ultimately, employees must be trained sufficiently to allow them to perform their expected job duties in a safe and healthful manner.
