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 training is complete, students will be required to pass a final exam with a test score of 70% or better.

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: 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.

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 firms, Compliance Solutions provides several ways to have your questions answered;

"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.

1. All students must complete an initial 32 hours of on-line training.

You can check the time you have accumulated by clicking the "Gradebook" section of the course. Simply select "User Activity" to display the number of minutes completed.

2. All Students must complete 8 hours of "hands-on" training.

In order to comply with OSHA regulations, you will also need to attend a session with Compliance Solutions where we will cover dress-out procedures and do mock demonstrations of situations you may encounter in the field. This session must be attended to complete the course. Use the following checklist to complete your course.
