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 from their computer via the internet. This course can be taken entirely online.

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.

Instead of hands-on training, students are shown over 50 short video clips as if they were at the 8-hour hands-on session. These video clips are required viewing by each participant.

The video clips demonstrate HAZWOPER equipment in great detail and students have the advantage to review the videos over and over as needed during their course.

Most users select the online option for their upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER training, simply because they still find a need for on-site specific equipment training, even after attending a classroom session. This is because the equipment we use and instruct on in our classroom training may not be the exact equipment that the user will be using as part of their job.

It should be noted, however, that the online version does not allow students the practical experience and ability to handle the tools and equipment that are available to the HAZWOPER worker.

Students that should take this course entirely online are those workers that, while requiring an OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER certification, will not realistically use any of this equipment on any worksite, or those workers who will use this equipment, but are given follow up instruction with on-site specific equipment training that is conducted by the employer.

It should also be noted that a worker who has taken the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER entirely online may warrant more training if, in the future, they are required to use specialized equipment.

Taking the training online and having training on-site by the employer is really the best option as it provides the best of both situations.

We also offer the 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade Combo course that includes hands-on training as an option.

General site workers (such as equipment operators, general laborers and supervisory personnel) engaged in hazardous substance removal or other activities which expose or potentially expose workers to hazardous substances and health hazards shall receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction off the site, and a minimum of three days actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor.

Each exam consists of 20 questions randomly selected from a large pool of questions. A 70% score or better is required to pass each exam. If a student does not pass the exam the first time, they may retake the exam as many times as necessary in order to pass.
