Hazwoper Training - 40 Hour Hazwoper Blended Training Course
32 Hours Online blended with 8 Hours of hands-on classroom training.
This course is two classes combined, one online and one in a classroom environment.
The 32-hour online portion consists of 46 sections broken down into 8 modules. It is recommended that users take each section in sequential order, although this is not required.
Once users are done with the online portion, they can complete the 8-hour hands-on classroom portion.
Who Should Take This Course?
In addition to taking the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Online, we also offer a blended version that includes 32 hours of online training coupled with 8 hours of classroom training. It is really two classes combined, one online and one in a classroom environment.
In the classroom portion, students receive hands-on training during the final 8 hours of their 40-hour certification. OSHA requires workers to be adequately trained to use specialized equipment in a training environment before actually having to use it in a hazardous work environment. This session introduces students to examples of this type of equipment and allows them to practice with it.
This version of the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Course may still need to be followed up with on-site specific equipment training because the equipment that is used during the instruction for our classroom training may not be the exact equipment the employee will be using as part of their job function. For this reason many users opt to take the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Online course.
We are always working to add new locations across the United States for students to take the hands-on portion of their training. We do this through an affiliate partnership with other training providers, but are very selective in whom we partner with to ensure the highest quality training.
The objectives of this course are to meet the Federal OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(i) for general industry and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(i) for construction. This course is also intended to meet any HAZWOPER training requirements for the EPA and State OSHA regulations.
Per 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(i) and 1926.65(e)(3)(i)
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 shall receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction off the site, and a minimum of three days actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor.
Workers must receive additional training, when required by Federal and State OSHA and EPA standards, on the specific hazards of their job.
Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company`s training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training that is supplied by their own company. This training should target the company`s unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company specific training should be well documented.
The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
