HAZWOPER 24-hour online Course
This 24-hour Hazwoper online training course is designed for workers at the hazardous materials operations level and technician level who are responding in an offensive fashion to stop emergency releases or spills of hazardous materials (e.g.: HAZMAT first responders), as well as incident commanders at these events. This course is also designed for workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published limits, as well as those 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, there are no health hazards or the possibility of an emergency developing. Training is based on the OSHA Hazwoper standard 1910.120. All online training courses will need to be supplemented by the employer with additional information and/or hands-on training and evaluation that may be needed to comply with their site-specific policies and procedures and/or OSHA regulations.

The general training requirements for workers at hazardous waste clean-up sites are as follows
- General site workers, such as general laborers and equipment operators – Any such employee having actual or potential exposure to hazardous substances or health hazards must receive at least 40 hours of off-site classroom training, followed by at least three full days of directly-supervised experience in the field, per 1910.120(e)(3)(i).
- Workers who are only on site occasionally to perform a specific task, such as performing a survey or monitoring wells, and who therefore have limited exposure to chemicals at levels below the OSHA permissible limits (PELs), are only required to have 24 hours of off-site classroom training, followed by at least one full day of directly-supervised experience in the field, per 1910.120(e)(3)(ii))
- Workers who regularly work on these clean-up sites but whose activities are limited to specific areas that have been quantitatively evaluated and characterized as having low exposure to chemicals (levels below OSHA PELs) so no respirator is necessary, and that also with no potential for developing into an emergency release or exposure, are only required to have 24 hours of off-site classroom training, followed by at least one full day of directly-supervised experience in the field, per 1910.120(e)(3)(iii).
- On site managers and the supervisors who directly oversee operations and/or workers listed above that were required to have the 40-hours of training and three days of supervised field experience must also be provided with 40 hours of off-site classroom training followed by at least three full days of directly-supervised experience in the field. However, if the employees they oversee are only required by the standard to have 24 hours of training and one day of supervised field experience, then they too are only required to have 24 hours of off-site classroom training followed by at least one full day of directly-supervised experience in the field, per 1910.120 (e)(4)(iv).
