HAZWOPER training aka Hazardous Waste Operations was promulgated into law back in the early 1980′s and was born of the 4 agency document designed by the collaborative efforts of OSHA, NIOSH, USCG and the EPA.
There are five specific categories for those working with hazardous waste and substances as mentioned below. You can find even more detail on the Hazwoper categories here on OSHA’s Hazwoper faq page.
- Clean Up Operations
- Corrective Actions Involving Clean Up Operation
- Voluntary Clean Up Operations
- Operations Involving Hazardous Waste Sites
- Emergency Response Operations
However, CSEM can also develop custom Hazwoper classes tailored to meet the specific needs of your organization. Our instructor will talk with you to make sure that you are choosing the right course. Depending on the size of the class, our 40 hr Hazwoper course includes either counter top or full blown simulations.
