Osha 24-Hour Hazwoper Online Training
Our OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 24-Hour Online Training course is designed for hazardous waste and emergency response workers who must satisfy their 24-hour HAZWOPER training requirement in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e) regulations. OSHA standards require employees to complete this HAZWOPER 24-hour training prior to entering or beginning work on an uncontrolled hazardous waste site. The 24-hour HAZWOPER training prepares hazardous waste and emergency response workers to recognize and avoid common risks found when exposed to hazardous materials (HazMat) when working on hazardous worksites.
Students will learn about:
- personal protective equipment (PPE);
- chemical safety;
- Decontamination;
- HazMat site emergencies;
- confined spaces; and more.
The 24-hour HAZWOPER online training is intended for workers who are unlikely to experience routine high-risk exposures as part of hazardous waste operations, such as workers who are only occasionally on a hazardous waste site to perform specific, limited tasks, and workers in proximity to hazardous materials and other hazardous substances where permissible exposure limits (PELs) are not exceeded.
Employees engaged in work tasks in the following positions require the 24-hour HAZWOPER training:
- HazMat technicians and specialists;
- HazMat supervisors;
- On-scene incident commanders; and
- Hazardous waste managers and supervisors.
Please note that managers and supervisors who typically need the 40-hour HAZWOPER training can use this 24-hour HAZWOPER certification to meet OSHA requirements only if they exclusively manage or supervise workers who only require 24-hour HAZWOPER training. These managers and supervisors must also complete eight hours of specialized training (the OSHA HAZWOPER 8-Hour Supervisor course) that is outside the scope of this 24-hour HAZWOPER training.

The 24-hour HAZWOPER certification is taken entirely online, and the material can be accessed anywhere, anytime from a computer, iPad®, iPhone®, or an Android® device.

The core objective of the 24-Hour HAZWOPER training is to meet OSHA’s HAZWOPER training requirements found in 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) for the general industry and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(ii) for the construction industry. Under these regulations, once workers have completed the initial 24 hours of training, they must receive one day of supervised field experience.
According to 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(ii):
“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 shall receive a minimum of 24 hours of instruction off the site, and the minimum of one day actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.”
