Our OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 24-Hour Training course is designed to satisfy the OSHA 24-Hour HAZWOPER training requirements for workers involved in hazardous waste and emergency operations in compliance with OSHA Standards, 29 CFR 1910.120(e) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e). OSHA standards require employees to complete this OSHA HAZWOPER 24 Hour Training prior to entering or beginning work on an uncontrolled hazardous waste site.
The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training prepares hazardous waste and emergency response workers to recognize and avoid common risks found when exposed to hazardous materials (HazMat) when working on hazardous worksites. Students will learn about:
- personal protective equipment (PPE);
- chemical safety;
- Decontamination;
- HazMat site emergencies;
- confined spaces; and more.
The OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training is intended for workers who are unlikely to experience routine high-risk exposures as part of hazardous waste operations, such as workers who are only occasionally on a hazardous waste site to perform specific, limited tasks, and workers in proximity to hazardous materials and other hazardous substances where permissible exposure limits (PELs) are not exceeded.
Employees engaged in work tasks in the following positions require the OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training:
- HazMat technicians and specialists;
- HazMat supervisors;
- On-scene incident commanders; and
- Hazardous waste managers and supervisors.
Please note that managers and supervisors who typically need the OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER Training can use this OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER certification to meet OSHA requirements only if they exclusively manage or supervise workers who only require OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training. These managers and supervisors must also complete eight hours of specialized training (the OSHA HAZWOPER 8-Hour Supervisor course) that is outside the scope of this OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER training.
Some of the benefits of HAZWOPER OSHA Online Training
At the end of this OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training program, once you complete the required study time for the OSHA 24 hour HAZWOPER certification, you can take the final exam. Upon passing the final exam, you will receive an electronic OSHA 24 hour HAZWOPER Training course completion certificate. This will be emailed to you immediately.

The core objective of the OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training is to meet OSHA’s HAZWOPER training requirements found in 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) for the general industry and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(ii) for the construction industry. Under these regulations, once workers have completed the initial 24 hours of training, they must receive one day of supervised field experience.
According to 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(ii):
“Workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not limited to, ground water monitoring, land surveying, or geophysical surveying) and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits shall receive a minimum of 24 hours of instruction off the site, and the minimum of one day actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.”

Once the OSHA HAZWOPER course is completed, you will immediately be able to download, save, or print your OSHA 24 hour HAZWOPER course completion certificate as a PDF. You will receive your plastic wallet ID card in the U.S. mail within 2-3 weeks.
Training Requirements
OSHA requires that workers to have 24 hours of initial training off the site and at least one day of supervised field experience before they are allowed to enter the hazardous waste worksite. The employer is responsible for providing the one-day field experience under a trained and qualified supervisor. OSHA also requires employees to maintain this initial HAZWOPER certification by taking an annual OSHA 8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher Training course thereafter.
A Final Note
It is important to remember that you are taking the online version of the OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Training course required by OSHA for general site workers engaged in activities involving hazardous waste and other hazardous substances. The hands-on training and field experience required by the HAZWOPER Standard are not part of this course.
It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to provide adequate training to its employees depending on their job type and experience, and to meet OSHA requirements in the process.
As an employer, do you want to train your employees as a team? Do your employees want to learn from a qualified instructor?
