Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER)* 24-Hour training course In-Person (ONLY USED FOR SEPT 2021 & PRIOR)
This 3-day course is designed for workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits, or regularly on a site working in areas which have been monitored and fully characterized, and where respirators and wearing elevated protection levels of PPE are not necessary. It provides the basic information needed to meet the 24-hour training requirements of the OSHA 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) and 1910.120(e)(3)(iii) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard. After completing the course, participants will be able to:
Participants will be trained in hazardous waste operations, team functions, personnel health and safety procedures, and operation of field monitoring equipment. Note: Completing this 24-hour HAZWOPER course only provides training sufficient to access fully monitored and characterized hazardous waste sites and excludes training to wear elevated levels of PPE or respiratory protection. If training is needed that provides access uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, response to incidents involving hazardous materials or training to wear elevated levels of PPE and respiratory protection, completion of the 40-hour HAZWOPER training is required. It is highly recommended you complete the FEMA Incident Command System (ICS) Classes 100, 200, 700 and 800 prior to attending. This training is available for free on the FEMA website. The 24-hour HAZWOPER course is not a substitute for the EPA employee requirement of completing the initial 24-hour Field Safety & Health Training. EPA employee managers and supervisors should contact their local Safety Health & Environmental Manager for more information.
