Hands-On Simulator

During HAZWOPER training, OSHA requires hands-on personal protective equipment (PPE) skills training using the actual equipment found on the job site. With the NET HAZWOPER Hands-On Simulator®, a site supervisor can demonstrate donning and doffing PPE, while learners participate in three virtual scenarios of donning and doffing Level A, Level B, and Level C PPE.

In addition to cutting training costs, the NET HAZWOPER Hands-On Simulator® provides a socially distant solution to reduce potential exposure during PPE skills training. The Simulator is exclusively included in every NET HAZWOPER course.
