Certificate of Completion
Wallet ID Included
Per 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(iv) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(iv):
Workers with 24 hours of training who are covered by paragraphs (e)(3)(ii) and (e)(3)(iii) of this section, and who become general site workers or who are required to wear respirators, shall have the additional 16 hours and two days of training necessary to total the training specified in paragraph (e)(3)(i).

This version of the course provides 8 hours of online training coupled with 8 hours of classroom training. We also offer a 16 Hour HAZWOPER Online course that provides training that is entirely online for workers who will receive follow-up training with company-specific equipment or workers who are unlikely to use HAZWOPER equipment on any worksite.

All HAZWOPER training must be refreshed each year.

If students have taken the 24 Hour HAZWOPER from another training provider, appropriate documentation must be provided before a 40 Hour HAZWOPER certificate is issued.
Classroom Training

The classroom portion of this training provides hands-on training for the final 8 hours of the 16-hour upgrade. OSHA requires workers to be adequately trained to use personal protective equipment in a training environment prior to using it in a hazardous work environment. The hands-on classroom session introduces students to examples of specialized equipment and allows them to practice donning, doffing, and using it.

This OSHA accepted training is brought to you by a team of OSHA Certified Outreach Trainers and meets the requirements for 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(iv) and 29 CFR 1929.65(e)(3)(iv).

Course Objectives

The objectives for this course are to meet the Federal OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(i) for General Industry and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(i) for Construction. This course is also intended to meet any HAZWOPER training requirements for EPA and State OSHA regulations.

Per 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(iv) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(iv)
Workers with 24 hours of training who are covered by paragraphs (e)(3)(ii) and (e)(3)(iii) of this section, and who become general site workers or who are required to wear respirators, shall have the additional 16 hours and two days of training necessary to total the training specified in paragraph (e)(3)(i).
Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, students should be able to:

  • Describe different types of respiratory protection for HAZWOPER workers;
  • Describe different types of monitors used to detect hazardous gases;
  • Explain methods for proper care of personal protective equipment;
  • Explain the need for fit testing; and
  • Explain donning/doffing procedures for personal protective equipment.
Training Requirements

When required by OSHA standards, workers must receive additional training on the specific hazards of their job. Training providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program.

Additional Training

In addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training provided by his or her employer. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company specific training should be well documented.

If a worker who has taken the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER course entirely online is required to use any of the equipment discussed during their training, more training may be warranted.

The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
