HAZWOPER CERTIFICATION
HAZWOPER 40 is required for workers that perform activities that expose or potentially expose them to hazardous substances.
This hazwoper certification 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 hr 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

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.
At the conclusion of the course, students will:
1. Understand how hazardous materials are handled, identified, and human responses to exposure
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 40 hr HAZWOPER certification training under 29 CFR 1910.120
Topics Covered
- Hazardous Chemical Awareness
- Personal Protective Equipment

This course fulfills your requirements for hazwoper certification under 29 CFR, Part 1910.120 (e), or other applicable state regulations for certification to the 24-hour Occasional Site Worker level.
Hazwoper 24 Hour (Occasional Site Worker)-
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 hazwoper certification 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)

Topics include HAZWOPER regulations, safety and health plans, hazardous chemicals, safety hazards, air monitoring, medical surveillance, site control, decontamination, personal protective equipment, and respiratory equipment. This course covers the topics in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. Prerequisites: Enrollment is open to those who have already completed the 40-hour or 24-hour HAZWOPER training.

- Better understand the principles of toxicology and how they relate to various types of chemical exposures
- Develop a Medical Surveillance Program and understand its purpose
- Identify the uses for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and how to choose the correct PPE for a situation
- Understand the principles of decontamination as well as levels of decontamination and decontamination methods
- Have a better understanding of potentially hazardous situations involving corrosives, solvents, oxidizers, and reactive chemicals
- Understand the various considerations in an emergency and the importance of training and actions to personal safety and the safety of others
TOPICS COVERED:
- Site Characterization, Analysis, and Control
- Safe Work Practices and PPE
This hazwoper certification course is for First Responders at the awareness level which require the worker to receive sufficient training addressing their understanding of hazardous substances, the risks associated with those substances, the potential outcomes associated with an emergency created by hazardous substances, the ability to recognize the presence of hazardous substances, and the ability to identify a hazardous substance, their role as a first responders awareness individual in the employers emergency response plan, and the ability to realize the need to initiate a response.
According to the 29 CFR 1910.120 (q)(6)(ii); this course is intended for individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property or the environment from the effects from the release. They are trained to respond in a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures.
This course is for hazmat employees who are responsible for the preparation of hazardous materials for transportation. The course address the General Awareness training required by the 49 CFR 172.704 Standard.
According to the 49 CFR 172.1(b); it is the duty of each person who offers hazardous materials for transportation to instruct each officer, agent, and employees having any responsibility for preparing hazardous materials for shipment
