Hazardous Materials and Waste
Safety Training

 

Through our Hazardous Waste training courses, students will engage in learning about the safety practices when dealing with hazardous materials, as sanctioned by OSHA standards. Our instructors provide thorough knowledge, pulling from their own training and first-hand experience, of the prevention of injuries and illnesses caused by hazardous materials within the workplace. We have designed specific hands-on practical exercises to accompany the classroom training portion of the HAZWOPER course. 

We offer 3 variations of the HAZWOPER course: The 40-Hour HAZWOPER Specialist Course, the 24-Hour HAZWOPER Technician Course, and the 8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher and/or Operations Training Course. To determine which course best fits your needs please see below. All workers who complete HAZWOPER training must take an 8-hour Hazwoper Refresher course each year.

 


40-Hour HAZWOPER SPECIALIST Course

 

who is it for?

The 40-hour course is designed for workers who face the highest risk of exposure on the job. Most workers who are new to uncontrolled hazardous waste or emergency response operations are required to complete 40 hours of HAZWOPER training. This includes general site workers (such as laborers and equipment operators) and on-site management and supervisors.
