All HAZWOPER-certified individuals are required to take annual refresher training in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 regulations. This specialty refresher course goes above and beyond our standard HAZWOPER 8-Hour Annual Refresher having been designed by engineers and scientists for engineers and scientists. The course includes modules that make use of multimedia components for an engaging experience. This course is to be completed as your annual refresher training after having previously completed the 24- or 40-hour HAZWOPER training.
If you work in an OSHA-approved Plan State, you may need additional site-specific training for certain hazardous materials and environments that you may encounter at your site. This is an employer obligation.
If you have missed a refresher training course because of unavoidable circumstances, you should take the refresher course immediately. You may have to repeat your 24-hour HAZWOPER or 40-hour HAZWOPER training if too much time has passed since your initial course or last refresher. The time frame considered “substantial” will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
HAZWOPER refresher training is required for work at all contaminated sites, including that done by scientists and engineers. These sites are placed on the National Priority List (NPL) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are scheduled for clean-up. The responsible party as identified in the EPA regulations, usually the site owner or past occupant, must cover the clean-up cost.
