The OSHA HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste and Emergency Response) Standard was developed to protect all employees working on site (such as but not limited to equipment operators, general laborers and others) exposed to hazardous substances, health hazards, or safety hazards and their supervisors and management who may engage in hazardous waste operations that could expose them to hazardous substances, safety, or health hazards.

In addition to the initial training (HAZWOPER – 40-Hour Course or 24-Hour Course) employees must receive prior to engaging in hazardous waste activities, employees and supervisors engaged in HAZWOPER activities are required to complete 8 hours of refresher training annually.

The 8-hour refresher course is a mixture of in-depth academic learning and interactive hands-on exercises to ensure workers remain competent and up to date on safety related work practices and regulatory compliance required when engaged in hazardous waste operations.

*Employees and supervisors engaged in HAZWOPER activities are required to complete 8 hours of refresher training annually within 12 months of the anniversary date of their previous HAZWOPER training. Employees who fail to meet this requirement may need to repeat their initial training.
