The 2009 Hands-On Schedule
Duration: 32 Hours On-Line, 8-hours classroom training
Prerequisites: None
Completion Requirements:
Students
will be allowed to proceed at their own pace in this interactive, on-line
training program. Students must complete a total of 32 hours of on-line training
and 8-hours in-person at a Compliance Solutions training course (see the last
page of this outline for tentative dates and locations). After the practical

Who Should Take This Course?: The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) applies to five
distinct groups of employers and their employees. This includes any employees who are exposed or
potentially exposed to hazardous substances-- including hazardous waste--and who are engaged in one
of the following operations as specified by 1910.120(a)(1)(i-v) and
1926.65(a)(1)(i-v):
-
Clean-up operations--required by a governmental body, whether federal, state, local, or other
involving hazardous substances-- that are conducted at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites;
-
Corrective actions involving clean-up operations at sites covered by the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.);
-
Voluntary clean-up operations at sites recognized by federal, state, local, or other governmental
body as uncontrolled hazardous waste sites;
-
Operations involving hazardous wastes that are conducted at treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities regulated by Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 264 and 265 pursuant to
RCRA, or by agencies under agreement with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to
implement RCRA regulations; and
-
Emergency response operations for releases of, or substantial threats of release of, hazardous
substances regardless of the location of the hazard.
Examples of the above would be individuals
involved in the following occupations: Removal or handling of underground tanks and/or piping,
contaminated soil and/or groundwater, subsurface investigations, construction
work in which hazardous materials may potentially be present, encountered,
prepared, packaged, labeled, marked, stored, shipped for disposal, and for any
facility wherein hazardous wastes are treated, stored, or disposed. Personnel
who are involved in the above disciplines are required to have initial and
recurrent training.

Class Materials
and "Hands-On" Training.
As part of your
online training course, all students receive
a dress-out class manual and all course materials at NO-Additional charge.
Materials will be given to the student on the day of class.
This portion of the training is crucial for HAZWOPER students (especially
those who are new to our industry) as it ties together critical learning objectives with
"real-life" experience and practical exercises. Yes, this type of
training is more expensive for us to provide but, your life is worth
it (besides, we don't charge more for a complete course that our
competitors don't offer or even suggest )!
OSHA says that ALL HAZWOPER
students should receive "hands-on" training in addition to computer-based
instruction.
In OSHA's Own Words: "Equally important is the
use of hands-on training and exercises to provide trainees with an opportunity
to become familiar with equipment and safe practices in a non-hazardous setting.
Many industrial operations, and in particular hazardous waste operations, can
involve many complex and hazardous tasks. It is imperative that employees be
able to perform such tasks safely. Traditional, hands-on training is the
preferred method to ensure that workers are prepared to safely perform these
tasks. The purpose of hands-on training, for example in the donning and doffing
of personal protective equipment, is two-fold: first, to ensure that workers
have an opportunity to learn by experience, and second, to assess whether
workers have mastered the necessary skills. It is unlikely that sole reliance
on a computer-based training program is likely to achieve these objectives."

Enforcement. Updated 6/2/2005

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ's)
Will this course meet my training requirements?:
Per
OSHA's interpretations of December 11,
1994, a few guidelines need to be followed in order
for the training to be considered in compliance:
"OSHA regulations require that an instructor have the minimum education
and or experience with hazardous materials to teach this course"
This course was developed by the Compliance Solutions
training staff. Our combined instructor experience spans over 150 years of
training, development and on-site experience. Additionally, we train over 12,000
students EACH YEAR so you can be assured of a quality training program.
"In order for the training to be effective, trainees must have the
opportunity to ask questions." Unlike other
on-line training courses, Compliance Solutions online 40-Hour HAZWOPER provides several ways to have your
student's questions answered:
-
Students may speak directly to their instructor during office hours via
the "Chat" feature in each course. Simply select the
"Chat" tab and your instructor will answer your questions
on-line!!!
-
You can send an email to us via the Instructor Email function anytime you
have a question.
-
Email another student in the "Email" section of the
course.
-
If you still have any questions while taking this training, please call
our course Hotline listed in the syllabus and speak to the "On-Line
Instructor". Office hours are Monday-Friday, 8 AM-5 PM Monday-Friday,
MST.
"The trainees' mastery of covered knowledge and skills must also be
assessed." Unlike some "prepackaged"
training courses, you can be assured that your students will receive training
that not only tests their skills but keeps them interested as well. We employ a
"modular training methodology" that continually tests and re-tests the
student's knowledge. A final exam is required in order for the student to
receive a Certificate of Completion.
"Hazardous waste operations can involve many complex and hazardous
tasks. It is imperative that employees be able to perform such tasks safely.
Thus, auditing of worker performance is required for all types of HAZWOPER
training. The employer may determine that hands-on training is unnecessary for a
given refresher course. However, if an employer elects not to use hands-on
training in their refresher course, the employer must first assess the
employees' skill level, and ensure that workers remain competent in their
current and any newly assigned duties." While
this training course is very comprehensive, we highly recommend that additional
site-specific training be taken for certain hazardous materials that may be
encountered at different sites. Whether an employer provides training, contracts
with an outside vendor to have the training completed, or has an employee
trained by way of our internet training course, the responsibility of providing
site specific training remains with the employer. If you are taking our course,
or any other, it must always be remembered that OSHA requires training in site
specific hazards, PPE and company safety plans. At the completion of this and
every other training class, Compliance Solutions recommends that these items be
reviewed with your employee.
For questions, please call us at 1-800-711-2706 Ext. 1
Note: This course requires
8-hours of hands-on training.
