Who Should Take This Course?

This OSHA 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade (to the 40 Hour) Online/Class Combo course is designed for workers who have completed their 24 Hour HAZWOPER training and want to upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER training level. This training meets the Federal OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(iv) and 29 CFR 1929.65(e)(3)(iv).

This combination online/classroom course is a good option for workers who want the flexibility and convenience of an 8 hour online course, coupled with 8 hours of hands-on equipment instruction and practice in a classroom setting. Students complete the online portion first through our state-of-the-art Online Training System (OTS), and then may attend the 8 hour classroom portion of the training.

To request hands-on classroom training be added in your area, please contact us. Through affiliate partnerships with other training providers, we work to provide locations across the United States for the hands-on training. To ensure the highest quality training, we are very selective in choosing our affiliates.

We also offer an OSHA 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade Online course as an option, which provides this course entirely online. This 100% Online course would be suitable for workers who will not be using equipment on the job OR for workers who will use equipment on the job, but will have employer-provided hands-on training on the specific equipment they will use.

Students who took the 24 Hour HAZWOPER course from another training provider, and enroll in our OSHA 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade Combo course, must provide acceptable documentation of 24 Hour course completion before the 40 Hour HAZWOPER certificate can be provided.
