Duration: 8 Hours

Pre-Requisite: OSHA 40 hour or 24 Hour HAZWOPER training. (If you have not yet taken this course, please contact a course specialist at 1-800-711-2706 Ext. 1)

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 8 hours of training and pass a graded final exam with a score of 70% or better.

Objectives:
The purpose of this course is to ensure awareness and promote safety among employees who may be exposed to chemical hazards in the work-site. The objective is to ensure that employees operate in the safest possible manner in situations where contact with potentially hazardous materials is likely.

At the conclusion of this module, students will:

Understand how hazardous materials are handled, identified, and human responses to exposure
Learn the importance of the Health and Safety Plan (HSP)
Incorporate the knowledge of what to do in case of site emergencies
Use appropriate safety methods and work practice controls
Recognize signs and labels that are used to alert personnel of danger involving hazardous material

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...).

The two main objectives of HAZWOPER Operations are to:

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

Compliance Solutions 8-Hour Online Refresher Course meets OSHA requirements for annual refresher training of personnel engaged in hazardous waste operations as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.120(e), including 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, or any facility wherein hazardous wastes are treated, stored, or disposed. The 8-Hour annual refresher is designed to update those who have already successfully completed 24 or 40-Hour HAZWOPER courses.

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;

You can send an email to us using the Instructor Email function anytime you have a question.
Look in the "Chat" and "Journal" tab, chances are another student has had the same question as you have. When the Instructor is instructor is on-line, you can speak with him directly. You will see him listed as "Professor".
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 our National Training Manager. His 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 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.
