Course Outline and Table of Contents: HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) is at the intersection of three Federal regulatory agencies (EPA, OSHA, DOT) and includes several career fields (science, technology, engineering, medicine, toxicology, law, psychology, organizational management, loss prevention, QA/QC, construction, waste management, etc...).

1. Control or eliminate the potential hazards and/or losses, and
2. Protect the health and safety of workers, the public, and the environment.

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 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 and 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.
