Who should take this course / Overview
This 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade course is for those workers who have the 24 Hour HAZWOPER training and wish to upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER level.
29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(iv) and 29 CFR 2910.65(e)(iv)
Workers with 24 hours of training who are covered by paragraphs (e)(3)(ii) and (e)(3)(iii) of this section, and who become general site workers or who are required to wear respirators, shall have the additional 16 hours and two days of training necessary to total the training specified in paragraph (e)(3)(i) of the HAZWOPER Regulation.
If students have taken the 24 Hour HAZWOPER with another training provider, appropriate documentation will need to be provided. In addition to taking the 16 Hour HAZWOPER Online, HazMat Student also offers this version that includes 8 hours of online training coupled with 8 hours of classroom training. It is really two classes combined, one online and one in a classroom environment.
In the classroom portion, students receive hands-on training during the final 8 hours of their 16-hour upgrade certification. OSHA requires workers to be adequately trained to use specialized equipment in a training environment before actually having to use it in a hazardous work environment. This session introduces students to examples of this type of equipment and allows them to practice with it.
