In compliance with OSHA HAZWOPER 29 CFR 1910.120 (q) regulations, this training is required for individuals having a first responder role with Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). This course is for individuals who respond to releases (and potential releases) of hazardous substances. Emphasis is placed on how to respond in a defensive fashion to contain or control a hazardous materials incident within the capacity of the resources and equipment available on site. This course satisfies the OSHA training requirements of 29 CFR1910.120 for First Responder Operations.

HAZWOPER First Responders at the operational level need to have sufficient training or experience to know:

• Basic hazard and risk assessment techniques
• How to select and use proper PPE provided to the first responder operational level
• Basic hazardous materials terms
• How to perform basic control, containment and/or confinement operations within the capabilities of the resources and PPE available with their unit
• How to implement basic decontamination procedures
• Relevant standard operating procedures and termination procedures

At conclusion of this course, students will have a basic understanding of what hazardous materials are, how they can be identified and what to do if they are the first on the scene of a hazardous materials incident.

Plan States (approved by U.S. OSHA) must have standards at least as stringent as the Federal HAZWOPER training requirements. These Plan States may have additional training requirements.

While this training course is very comprehensive, additional site-specific training must be taken for certain hazardous materials that may be encountered at different sites.

• Includes 14 full length videos
• HAZWOPER Hands-on Simulator®
• Audio narration of text
• Over 35 interactive flash animations
• Award winning content
• CEU’s
• Self grading quizzes and final exam
• OSHA Study Timer (tracks your study time login and logout at your convenience)
• Certificate of Completion (3 certificates) e-cert, 8×10 and wallet card (instant download of e-certificate upon course completion)
• HAZWOPER First Responder access for 1 year from the time of registration
• Free registration into the National Repository® (download your certificates at anytime in the future)

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a total of 3 certificates. An email with an e-certificate will be sent to you or your designee immediately upon completing the course and the original certificates (8×10 and pvc wallet card) will arrive in the mail.

We also offer the added assurance that our 8 Hour HAZWOPER course complies with the OSHA regulations. We have an interpretation letter from the U.S. OSHA Directorate of Enforcement Programs in Washington D.C., accepting our HAZWOPER Hands-on Simulator. Please follow this link to download the OSHA interpretation letter. No other online company has such a letter from OSHA. So, for almost the same price as other companies that provide no assurance, you also receive added assurance from us that you are in compliance with OSHA.

Successful companies and employers do not guess at regulatory compliance. They make certain they are in compliance at all times or at least they are making strong efforts to be in compliance. It is no different when it comes to health and safety training. The training received by employees is only as good as the instruction. Unfortunately, some people believe that a certificate is a certificate and they are in compliance. This is not always the case and companies pay huge fines for training deficiencies.

Includes  U.S. Based support. An experienced and highly qualified instructor is available to you throughout the training process. Our toll free hotline or email will allow access to some of the finest instructors in the U.S.

8 hours (OSHA 8 Hour HAZWOPER Training Requirement) Note: OSHA requires the 8 hour course will take a minimum of 8 hours of actual study time. Anything less will not comply with the OSHA standard. Our course allows you to login and logout at any time increment in order to fit your schedule. When you logout, the course will be bookmarked so you can begin where you left off. The study timer will also accrue your time and will begin where you left off in the course.

This HAZWOPER First Responder course has been awarded 1.34 Industrial Hygiene CM Points by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) – approval number 13334. This course is eligible for .66 Continuance of Certification (COC) points from the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP).
