Did you know that there's 3 different kinds of HAZWOPER?
HAZWOPER is an acronym for these three different types of sites. See the chart below. Here’s a link to a Letter of Interpretation https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/1991-08-20-0 from OSHA describing these.
Many employers mistakenly believe they require the HAZWOPER 40 hour course. This may not be true. “It depends” on your facility. See the chart below.
Here at Byrd SMP, the majority of our training is under the Emergency Response Operations. [1910.120(q)]
Here’s what this section’s training requirements look like:
Better to train on HAZWOPER for 40 hours?
This is not true. Here’s OSHA’s Letter of Interpretation that says no.

How does a "Tagout" differ from a "Lockout"?
Essentially, they are the same with the exception of placing locks on the energy isolating devices. OSHA allows for a “tagout” when the equipment cannot physically accept a lock. The tag is used in the place of the lock when this occurs.
