Do You Need to Take the HAZWOPER 8-Hour Incident Command Annual Refresher Course?

The HAZWOPER Incident Command refresher course is designed to recertify individuals to work as Incident Commanders for HAZWOPER and HAZMAT Operations, and it covers topics as required by 29 CFR 1910.120 (q). This training must be provided for personnel who direct or command incident response operations.

HAZWOPER Incident Commanders must be familiar with the Incident Command System (ICS) and the 3 main priorities: life safety, incident stabilization, and property conservation.The HAZWOPER incident commander is an individual who will assume control of the incident scene beyond the first responder awareness level.

This standard provides an incident command system headed by a single person who is well trained in managing emergencies of differing severity, as well as overseeing the HAZMAT team, but does not necessarily have extensive knowledge of certain technical aspects such as classification and verification of hazardous substances.
