Description
When workers engage in the cleanup, treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous substances as defined in 40 CFR 261.3 and 49 CFR 171.8, they must adhere to the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 standards for hazardous waste operations and emergency response (HAZWOPER). Failure to understand and comply with these standards poses serious risks, including chemical burns, skin and eye irritation, and even death.
ClickSafety’s HAZWOPER 40-Hour course can help workers, managers, and supervisors meet initial OSHA safety requirements. This training teaches employees of all levels about the potential hazards they may face when working with hazardous waste, as well as how to respond when these problems arise and how best to mitigate the chances they will occur. Educating employees on these safety practices can help minimize the chance of health risk and improve the overall safety culture of the workplace.
NOTICE: Students must also obtain additional site-specific training, along with three days of actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.
In addition, on-site supervisors and managers may use this training to fulfill the 40-Hour component of their training requirements.
