The 24-Hour HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) course is designed for workers who are occasionally on-site at hazardous waste operations or contaminated sites but do not require the full 40-Hour training. This includes workers with limited task scope, minimal exposure risks, or supervised roles. The course is fully aligned with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120 and satisfies federal requirements for HAZWOPER certification.
Ideal for environmental technicians, equipment operators, supervisors, or others who may work in controlled zones or support operations involving hazardous substances, the 24-hour course equips you with critical foundational knowledge in chemical safety, hazard recognition, and response procedures.
Key Topics Covered Include:
- Overview of HAZWOPER regulations and OSHA requirements
- Identifying hazardous materials and understanding their risks
- Toxicology, exposure routes, and health effects
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protection
- Site control programs, zones, and communication
- Emergency preparedness and spill response
- Decontamination procedures and contamination prevention
- Safety planning and regulatory documentation
The training is delivered 100% online and self-paced, with real-world examples, interactive modules, and assessments to reinforce learning. Upon completion, students receive a certificate verifying they have fulfilled the OSHA-mandated 24-hour HAZWOPER training requirement.
