The Hazardous Waste Operation and Emergency Response Standard has existed for a long time (since 1990 in fact). Even today, it's difficult to determine who needs training and what kind of training they require because the requirements are unclear. By providing you with this blog post, we hope to assist you in determining what you, as an employee, need to fulfil your training obligations.

The fundamental requirements for Hazwoper training are outlined in OSHA Standard 1910.120(e). All employees working on a site (such as equipment operators, general labourers, etc.) who are exposed to hazardous materials, health hazards, or safety hazards, along with their supervisors and management responsible for the site, shall receive training, according to the standard's opening clause (e)(1)(i).

Before they are allowed to participate in hazardous waste operations that could expose them to hazardous substances, they must complete this training in order to meet the requirements outlined in this section.

Each participant will end up leaving the course with practical approaches to HAZWOPER standards, EPA requirements, hazards communication and controlling the workplace incidents
