HAZWOPER Refresher (8-Hour) Course

Course Overview:
HazTec HAZWOPER  Refresher course meets OSHA's annual 8-hour refresher training requirement for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER), as specified in 29 CFR 1910.120. Workers, supervisors and managers involved with hazardous waste operations are required to have 8 hours of refresher training annually.

HAZWOPER refresher training is designed to help students review basic occupational safety and health principles learned during their initial HAZWOPER 24-hour or HAZWOPER 40-hour certification training course. In addition, important Hazwoper safety and health issues addressed by OSHA and other organizations will be examined, as well as new topics  including changes made to the hazard communication standard (GHS).

HAZWOPER 24HR Tech Level
 
Course Overview:
The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response; Tech Level (OSHA) (HAZMAT) 24hr course is designed to make employees capable of acting as the technician or incident commander only after the employee has become familiar with and has demonstrated through their company the additional requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120. Emergency response refers to a response effort by designated personnel to an occurrence that results in, or is likely to result in, an uncontrolled release of a hazardous substance.
 
Upon completion, 24hr first responders are personnel who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance release, initiate an emergency response by notifying the proper authorities of the release and then have the ability to operate within the incident command structure to actively contain or control a leak.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response; Tech Level (OSHA) (HAZMAT) 24hr training, the student will be able to:

  • Function within and assigned role in the Incident Command System

  • Know how to select and use proper specialized chemical personal protective equipment provided to the hazardous materials technician

  • Understand hazard and risk assessment techniques

  • Perform advanced control, containment and/or confinement operations within the capabilities of the resources and personal protective equipment available with the unit

  • Understand and implement decontamination procedures

  • Understand terminations procedures

  • Understand basic chemical and toxicological terminology and behavior
