OSHA standards states that HAZWOPER training applies to workers and employers involved in five specific types of operations:
- Uncontrolled hazardous waste cleanup operations required by a government body
- Corrective actions involving cleanup operations at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) sites
- Hazardous waste operations at treatment, storage and disposal (TSD) facilities
- Operations at non-TSD facilities that generate hazardous waste
- Emergency response actions involving the potential release of hazardous substances
The 40-hour HAZWOPER certification is valid for 12 months; to maintain your certification, you must complete an additional 8-hour HAZWOPER Refresher course each year. If you miss the deadline, you may be required to retake the 40-hour course. See HAZWOPER 8-HOUR REFRESHER COURSE for additional information.
