Workplace Safety: Guides, Standards, Training
If you or your employees work around hazardous materials, proper HAZWOPER training is not optional. OSHA created the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard under 29 CFR 1910.120 to protect workers who face dangerous environments. Whether you need full certification or your annual refresher, OSHA Pros provides trusted online training that is affordable, convenient, and nationally recognized.
Our HAZWOPER certification courses are developed by Certified Safety Professionals with over 20 years of experience. All training is available online, self-paced, and designed to keep you and your team compliant while protecting health and safety.
Understanding which HAZWOPER course is required for you or your employees will depend on the level of hazard and direct involvement with hazardous materials:
24 Hour HAZWOPER Training: For workers who may occasionally encounter hazardous materials on-site but are not directly involved in cleanup operations.
40 Hour HAZWOPER Training: For workers and supervisors with regular exposure or direct involvement in hazardous waste operations, emergency response, or cleanup activities.
8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher Training: Required every 12 months after completing a 24 or 40 hour course to maintain compliance.
If you are not sure which course is right for you, speak with our team and we can help determine the correct level of training for your situation.
The 24 hour HAZWOPER training is designed for workers with limited exposure to hazardous substances. It provides essential knowledge on hazard recognition, site safety, toxicology, PPE, decontamination, and more.
When you choose OSHA Pros, you are getting training created by Certified Safety Professionals with decades of experience in hazardous environments. Many providers online promise quick solutions, but our 24 hour HAZWOPER course is trusted nationwide because it delivers compliance and confidence.
