This module is the seventh course in a ten-part series that forms the 40-hour HAZWOPER training program for General Site Workers, as required under OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120.
This course provides an overview of essential practices for site control, security procedures, and effective decontamination measures.
OSHA Requirements
The full 40-hour HAZWOPER program is completed in two distinct stages:
- 40 hours of off-site instructional training
- Three days of hands-on, site-specific field experience
Training offered through OSH Center fulfills only the off-site instructional portion. Employers are responsible for delivering the required three days of supervised practice at the actual worksite.
Time Requirement
Under OSHA Standard 1910.120, participants must complete 40 hours of off-site instruction. OSH Center divides this requirement into ten individual courses, each with a designated minimum completion time that must be met before the corresponding exam becomes available.
This particular course includes a minimum required duration of 3 hours. A course timer is located in the upper-left corner of each page to help you track your progress.
