Step 1 of 3: Are you new to HAZWOPER or need a refresher?

FAQs

How do I know if I need HAZWOPER training?

You need HAZWOPER if you:

  1. Work at uncontrolled hazardous waste cleanup sites (Superfund, brownfields)
  2. Respond to emergency hazardous substance releases, or
  3. Work at a Treatment, Storage, or Disposal (TSD) facility.

Use our course selector above to determine your specific requirement.

40-Hour HAZWOPER is for general cleanup site workers regularly exposed to hazardous substances at or above Permissible Exposure Limits.

24-Hour HAZWOPER is for occasional cleanup site workers with limited exposure, TSD facility employees, or emergency response technicians.

The tool above will tell you which you need.

Yes! OSHA allows online training for the classroom instruction portion of HAZWOPER. eTraining’s online courses are fully compliant with 29 CFR 1910.120 requirements.

Cleanup site workers will still need to complete hands-on field experience separately.

Yes, if you’re a cleanup site worker. OSHA requires 3 days of supervised field experience after 40-hour training, or 1 day after 24-hour training for occasional workers.

Emergency responders and TSD facility workers do NOT need field experience, only the classroom hours.

OSHA states that if you miss your refresher deadline, your employer must determine whether you need to repeat the full initial training based on your familiarity with current procedures.

It’s best to complete your refresher within the 12-month window. We recommend setting a calendar reminder.
