Overview

Who Should Take This Course?

Our OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER class (32 Hours Online / 8 Hours Classroom) provides training on response activities after an emergency, cleanups and remediation, and Superfund and RCRA corrective action sites. The course contains training on hazard recognition, exposure limits, risk evaluation, technology methods, containing chemical spills, the decontamination process, protective equipment, among many other topics. This course meets the Federal OSHA HAZWOPER training requirement for 29 CFR 1910.120(e) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e).

This course is designed for workers who need the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER certification and prefer the flexibility and convenience of a 32 hour online course, coupled with 8 hours of hands-on equipment instruction and practice in a classroom. 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. View current classroom locations and schedule.

If you will be getting employer-provided hands-on training with the specific equipment you will use, you may want to opt to take our OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Training Online course which is provided 100% online, and includes equipment instruction by video instead of hands-on practice.

If you would prefer to get the 8-hour hands-on training through your employer or another training provider, you may want to take our OSHA 32 Hour HAZWOPER Online course to combine with your 8 hours of hands-on training. In some cases, when students have taken our 32 hour online course and another training provider will not issue a 40 Hour HAZWOPER certification, we may be able to do so if sufficient proof is provided of taking the hands-on portion. See our 40 Hour HAZWOPER options.

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.
