The HAZWOPER 24 Hour online training course provides basic training for employees who may be exposed to hazardous chemicals or doing clean-up of hazardous substances, but will not face these hazards on a daily basis. It is required if you or your employees’ exposure will meet or exceed OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).
If your workplace is a designated HAZWOPER site under OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.120, you will need to take the 24-hour HAZWOPER course. OSHA HAZWOPER training is required for everyone who works at contaminated sites.
Time Requirement
OSHA Standard 1910.120 requires trainees to complete 24-hours of off-site training as part of this program. After successfully completing each course exam, trainees are guaranteed to have met the 24-hour time requirement defined by OSHA.
OSHA On-site Requirement
After completing the OSHA HAZWOPER 24 Hour off-site training program, OSHA requires employees to receive one (1) days of on-the-job worksite-specific training provided by their company (29 CFR 1910.120 (e)(3)(i)).
