Introduction
This is the eighth 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 confined space basics, atmospheric and non-atmospheric hazards, controlling confined space hazards, and confined space training requirements. This course covers the basic requirements of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.146, permit-required confined spaces
OSHA Requirements
HAZWOPER training is completed in two-phases:
- Off-site instruction: 40 hours
- Worksite-specific practical experience: 3 days
OSHAcademy online training fulfills the first phase of this process. An employer must provide the 3 days of worksite-specific experiential training 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.
