HAZWOPER: Introduction to HAZWOPER Retraining

This Interactive course on Introduction to HAZWOPER Retraining is designed to help facilities comply with OSHA’s HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120). As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee’s specific level of involvement with hazardous materials. The course… part of the HAZWOPER Annual Retraining Series… reminds employees who deal with hazardous materials of the importance of identifying, evaluating and controlling chemical hazards. Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. It is so important that employees know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances, as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly, that OSHA mandates that anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive training in this area. Areas covered in the course include background of the HAZWOPER regulations, the site safety and health plan, the emergency response plan, site characterization and the site control program, systems of controls and standard operating procedures, personal protective equipment, exposure monitoring, decontamination, medical surveillance programs, and more.
