This training applies to all employees who work at the site of an ordered cleanup or who are contracted to clean up a release after a HAZWOPER emergency response has occurred concerning an OSHA hazardous substance. An OSHA hazardous substance includes DOT hazardous materials, CERCLA hazardous substances, RCRA hazardous wastes, disease-causing agents, and petroleum products with a flashpoint of 200°F or less. 24-Hour Training Requirement If it is expected that an employee will not be exposed above the OSHA PEL or published exposure limits, the training standard (29 CFR 1910.120(e)) allows a reduced initial training requirement (24 hours instead of the usual 40). Our IASHEP OSHA 24-Hour HAZWOPER Training is designed for hazardous waste and emergency response workers who must satisfy their 24-hour HAZWOPER training requirement. The standards under 29 CFR Part 1910.120 (e) require employees to complete appropriate HAZWOPER training prior to entering or beginning work on an uncontrolled hazardous waste operation. Target Audience Examples of workers who qualify for this training are: New Employees Hazardous Materials Technicians Hazardous Materials Specialists On-Scene Incident Commanders Management and Supervisors Anyone needing to fulfill an OSHA 24-hour HAZWOPER requirement Learning Outcomes After this course, you will be able to: Recognize and recall OSHA regulations and requirements.
