8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher Training
All persons qualified to operate on a HAZWOPER site under 29CFR1910.120, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (a)(1)(iv)
are required to go through an 8 hour refresher every year in order to be able to access the HAZWOPER site. This includes the following people:
- General site workers (such as equipment operators, general laborers and supervisory personnel) engaged in hazardous substance removal or other activities which expose or potentially expose workers to hazardous substances and health hazards
- Workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not limited to, ground water monitoring, land surveying, or geophysical surveying) and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits
- Workers regularly on site who work in areas which have been monitored and fully characterized indicating that exposures are under permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits where respirators are not necessary, and the characterization indicates that there are no health hazards or the possibility of an emergency developing
- On-site management and supervisors directly responsible for, or who supervise employees engaged in, hazardous waste operations
- Workers at Treatment, Storage and Disposal sites handling RCRA wastes who are exposed to health hazards or hazardous substances
People who trained under section (q) of 1910.120 are required to receive annual refresher training of sufficient content and duration to maintain their competencies. An 8 hour refresher course, plus an annual practical exercise meets this requirement.
Course Outline
This course meets the annual refresher-training requirement for regular hazardous waste site workers and managers. The eight-hour course provides refresher coverage of material in the original 24 or 40 hour training course in hazardous waste operations and emergency response and includes the following ten modules:
- Site Safety and Health Plans and Procedures
- Decontamination
- Hazard Communication
- Working in Extreme Temperatures
- Fire and Explosion Safety
- Emergency Response and Spill Control
- PPE/Respiratory Protection
- Site Control
- Regulatory Overview
- Toxicology
Each module can be taken separately at the learner's own pace. This provides you with much more flexibility as opposed to a classroom session.
