HAZWOPER Training

This HAZWOPER training course is taught by a Certified Instructional Trainer (CIT) and is developed per ANSI Z490.1 standards.  This training satisfies 29CFR1910.120.

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.

Course Evaluations

The course was incredibly helpful and informative. It showed weaknesses in our team / company in a way that was encouraging. We have work to do and we are excited to do it!
