COURSE DESCRIPTION:

 

HAZWOPER 24 Hour is required for employees visiting an Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Operation mandated by the Government.

This course covers broad issues pertaining to the hazard recognition at work sites. OSHA has developed the HAZWOPER program to protect the workers working at hazardous sites and devised extensive regulations to ensure their safety and health. This course, while identifying different types of hazards, also suggests possible precautions and protective measures to reduce or eliminate hazards at the work place.

Note: Workers must have 24 hours of initial training and one day of supervised field experience before they are allowed to enter the site. The one day field experience under a trained, experienced supervisor is the responsibility of the student's employer or potential employer.
