OSHA has established several levels of training under the umbrella of HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response). HAZWOPER training is required for personnel that may potentially be exposed to hazardous materials and for those involved in spill cleanup operations.
OSHA defines HAZWOPER through their General Industry Regulation Title 29, section 1910.120, also known as 29 CFR 1910.20. This regulation defines several operations where HAZWOPER training is required.
The Operations portion of the HAZWOPER training will cover the following: levels of training which must be completed, emergency plans and hazardous waste informational sources, responses to various hazardous waste sources, medical surveillance programs,site monitoring, engineering controls and work practices, and PPE (personal protective equipment).
