Frequently Asked Questions
What is HAZWOPER training?
HAZWOPER stands for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. The training is required under OSHA for workers involved in hazardous waste cleanup, emergency response, and certain contaminated site activities.
What is the difference between 24-hour and 40-hour HAZWOPER?
The required course depends on the type of work being performed and the level of potential exposure. Workers involved in more extensive hazardous waste operations typically require the 40-hour course, while limited exposure activities may qualify for 24-hour training.
