8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher

This 8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher Course can be customized for your specific needs and provided at your facility.

Training scenarios can be tailored around site-specific chemicals. The specialized training curriculum is presented from the perspective of a HAZMAT Response Team Specialist/Emergency Responder that has spent over 30 years responding to uncontrolled emergency releases. From Operating as Incident Commander to spending countless hours inside a chemical suit, our instructor knows the importance of real-world training as opposed to theoretical based training. Critical decisions often need to be based on data, but WHAT that data means to HAZMAT RESPONDERS is often difficult to ascertain.

This 8-Hour HAZWOPER Annual Refresher Course is designed to meet OSHA required annual refresher training for individuals who have completed the initial 24 or 40-Hour HAZWOPER course. Mandated training requirements can be found in 29 CFR1910.120. Workers attending this course will cover various topics including resource research, health and safety procedures, and personnel protection during work operations at hazardous material sites.

All persons who have received the 24 or 40-hour HAZWOPER initial training must have annual refresher training (every 12 months) to stay current and insure continued certification in HAZWOPER and Emergency Response.

 

This course can be held at your location or at a nearby hotel training room. Facilities need to be adequate to accommodate the number enrolled for the course. Requested supplied items: TV/DVD and a marker board.

Professional style wall certificates and Wallet Cards will be issued upon successful completion of the course.

Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive training in this area.

In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste "from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials.

AB Defense System's training classes on "Introduction to HAZWOPER Retraining" remind employees who deal with hazardous materials of the importance of identifying, evaluating and controlling chemical hazards. Topics covered in these products include:

  • Background of the HAZWOPER Regulations.

  • The Site Safety and Health Plan.

  • The Emergency Response Plan.

  • Site characterization and the site control program.

  • Systems of controls and standard operating procedures.

  • Personal protective equipment.

  • Exposure monitoring.

  • Decontamination and Medical Surveillance Programs.

  • and more.
