About this Course

What is HAZWOPER Basic Training?

As the name suggests, hazardous waste and materials can be dangerous when you don’t handle them correctly. To prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities from hazardous materials, OSHA developed HAZWOPER, or Hazardous Wastes Operation and Emergency Response.

Our HAZWOPER Basic training provides an introductory overview of how to properly label and work with hazardous materials to prevent harm. Additionally, the course covers HAZWOPER standards so that you can safely complete your job without worrying about incorrectly labeling HazMat. After you finish the course, you’ll have a basic understanding of OSHA’s role in the prevention and elimination of workplace injuries.

For those who need more than an introductory course, we have a 40-Hour HAZWOPER training course, as well as a 24-Hour HAZWOPER training course. Additionally, no matter which course you take—40-Hour or 24-Hour, you will still need to take the 8-Hour HAZWOPER course annually.

Topics Covered

FAQs

Do I Still Need On-Site Training?

Yes, but OSHA is very clear that initial HAZWOPER training can’t be handled entirely online.   

Your employer has to supplement this course with: 

Supervised Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) practice with the respirators and full protective gear.  
Site-specific training to familiarize you with the protocols specific to your duties and employer. 
One (1) full day of directly supervised fieldwork.  The lessons above MUST be separate from this day.

When Does My Course Expire?

Your course will expire one (1) year after you purchase it (the date you submit payment), unless the course itself indicates otherwise.
