HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE HAZWOPER TRAINING CLASSES

Your Health is Your GREATEST WEALTH!

HAZWOPER training is required for any workers in the USA who engage in remediation cleanup, emergency response scenarios, or execute corrective protocols that consist of the uncontrolled release of substances that are considered hazardous on any level.

This year in 2022, Hazard Communication Standard was ranked as the second most frequently cited OSHA standard. While this differs a bit from the Hazwoper subject, they are alike in some ways.

Hazardous chemical exposures have the potential to create numerous safety and health consequences. Some situations can be toxic and end up in fatalities, and some common injuries from incidents include chemical burns, explosions, and fires.

There are many different types of positions within organizations that OSHA enforces HAZWOPER training for, here are some examples:

• Solid Waste Management Treatment Laborers

• Chemical Processing Plant Technicians

• Chemical Processing Plant General Workers

• Chemical Manufacturing Plant Operators or Equipment Operators

• Chemical Manufacturing Managers, Supervisors, or Safety Personnel

• Waste Water Treatment Laborers

• All on-site supervisors, managers, leads, and directors for wastewater treatment facilities

• Technicians for Hazardous materials 

• Hazardous materials Handlers or Specialists

• On-scene incident personnel or commanders

• Certain types of surveyors including Geophysical or surveyors that have to be on-site with areas of chemical processing or chemical treatment manufacturing

HAZWOPER, HAZMAT, AND HAZCOM training is truly a necessity for…

• Toxic substances that have high concentrations

• Any risk of potential injury or fatality

• Imminent Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) environments

• An atmosphere with low levels of ventilation such as confined spaces where the oxygen levels aren’t suitable for workers to breathe and work in

• Working scenarios that have safety hazards such as chances of fire or chemical explosions

• Areas that have the potential to be in situations that call for immediate evacuations or priority attention to consistently or regularly protect the employees working in or around the site

While there are many online on-demand options for these types of emergencies, most business owners and individuals prefer to take these classes in person. It is such a serious matter that calls for hands-on training that is designed to be memorable, engaging, and easy to understand.
