Our OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 24-Hour Training course is designed to satisfy the OSHA 24-Hour HAZWOPER training requirements for workers involved in hazardous waste and emergency operations in compliance with OSHA Standards, 29 CFR 1910.120(e) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e). OSHA standards require employees to complete this OSHA HAZWOPER 24 Hour Training prior to entering or beginning work on an uncontrolled hazardous waste site.
The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training prepares hazardous waste and emergency response workers to recognize and avoid common risks found when exposed to hazardous materials (HazMat) when working on hazardous worksites. Students will learn about:
- personal protective equipment (PPE);
- chemical safety;
- Decontamination;
- HazMat site emergencies;
- confined spaces; and more.
The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training is intended for workers who are unlikely to experience routine high-risk exposures as part of hazardous waste operations, such as workers who are only occasionally on a hazardous waste site to perform specific, limited tasks, and workers in proximity to hazardous materials and other hazardous substances where permissible exposure limits (PELs) are not exceeded.
Employees engaged in work tasks in the following positions require the OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training:
- HazMat technicians and specialists;
- HazMat supervisors;
- On-scene incident commanders; and
- Hazardous waste managers and supervisors.
Please note that managers and supervisors who typically need the OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER Training can use this OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER certification to meet OSHA requirements only if they exclusively manage or supervise workers who only require OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training. These managers and supervisors must also complete eight hours of specialized training (the OSHA HAZWOPER 8-Hour Supervisor course) that is outside the scope of this OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER training.
Some of the benefits of HAZWOPER OSHA Online Training
At the end of this OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training program, once you complete the required study time for the OSHA 24 hour HAZWOPER certification, you can take the final exam. Upon passing the final exam, you will receive an electronic OSHA 24 hour HAZWOPER Training course completion certificate. This will be emailed to you immediately.

Answer:
All our courses are designed to take a specific amount of time. However, some students may get through the course more quickly, while others may take longer to complete their training. The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training will take around 24 hours to complete.
Answer:
The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER certification has 12-month validity and can be maintained by taking the OSHA 8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher Training course thereafter.
Answer:
Our courses allow flexible scheduling, allowing you to complete the training at your own pace. You can start and stop as needed, and the system will track your progress. However, once you begin a section, it's crucial to finish it in one session, or you will have to restart that section from the beginning on your next login.
Answer:
The course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e) and the 29 CFR 1926.65(e) regulations.
Answer:
- The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER certification is targeted at workers who work at contaminated sites, but who undertake work tasks that do not expose them to hazardous substances at or above the Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).
- The OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification is targeted toward employees who are regularly exposed to hazardous substances or toxic chemicals at or above PELs
Answer:
The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER training is intended for workers who are involved in hazardous waste operations and emergency response, but who do not perform these activities on a regular basis. This includes but is not limited to, employees who perform hazardous waste handling and disposal, and emergency response operations, but only occasionally or for a short period.
