HAZWOPER annual refresher
HAZWOPER 8 Hour Annual Refresher Training
This OSHA 8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher course is built around the annual refresher-training requirement in 29 CFR 1910.120. It refreshes core hazardous-waste safety knowledge for eligible workers and supervisors who have already completed the required initial HAZWOPER training and supervised field experience.
Before you enroll
This Is a Refresher, Not an Initial HAZWOPER Course
The HAZWOPER 8 Hour Annual Refresher is appropriate for workers and supervisors who have already completed the initial training and field-experience requirements applicable to their role. It does not replace an initial 24 Hour or 40 Hour HAZWOPER course.
Previously Trained Workers
Use this course if you have completed an appropriate initial HAZWOPER 24 Hour or 40 Hour training course and required field experience.
Annual Knowledge Renewal
Refresh core information on hazards, site controls, protective measures, emergency planning, and work practices relevant to hazardous-waste operations.
Any Previous Provider
Your initial training does not need to have been completed through Stay Certified. Retain your original records for your employer’s training file.
Annual refresher process
Maintain Your HAZWOPER Training Record
The annual refresher supports the continuing training requirement, but your employer remains responsible for the site-specific information and controls that apply to your current work.
Confirm Your Initial Training
Make sure you have completed the appropriate initial 24 Hour or 40 Hour HAZWOPER course and the related supervised field experience.
Complete the Refresher
Complete the eight-hour refresher course, including all required modules and knowledge assessments, before your annual training is due.
Receive Site-Specific Updates
Your employer must continue to provide training and information on current site hazards, procedures, protective equipment, and emergency arrangements.
