This course focuses on HAZWOPER requirements for safety and health programs, planning and organization, and training.
OSHA Requirements
The 40-hour HAZWOPER program consists of two phases:
- 40 hours of off-site instruction – provided via OSHAcademy online training

Online training fulfills the first phase, while the employer is responsible for the second phase.

- Students can monitor their progress using the timer located at the top-left corner of each page.
