Introduction
This is the second in a ten-course series comprising the 40-hour HAZWOPER for General Site Workers certificate program per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120. This course focuses on the HAZWOPER requirements for safety and health programs, planning and organization, and training.
OSHA Requirements
It is important to understand the 40-hour HAZWOPER is a two-phase process:
- 40 hours of off-site instruction
- 3 days of worksite-specific practice in the field
OSHAcademy online training fulfills the first phase of this process. An employer must provide the 3 days of worksite-specific, hands-on practice in the field.
Time Requirement
OSHA Standard 1910.120 requires students to complete 40-hours of off-site training as part of this program. OSHAcademy has divided the 40-hour HAZWOPER program into ten courses. Each course has a minimum time requirement, which must be met before a student is granted access to the course exam.
This course has a minimum time requirement of 4 hours. You can monitor your time on this course using the timer located in the top-left corner of each page.
