This is the eighth course in a ten-part series that comprises the 40-hour HAZWOPER training program for General Site Workers, in accordance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120.
This course addresses the fundamentals of confined spaces, including atmospheric and non-atmospheric hazards, methods for controlling confined space risks, and the training requirements for working safely in these environments. It covers the core requirements of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.146 regarding permit-required confined spaces.
OSHA Requirements
The 40-hour HAZWOPER program is completed in two stages:
- 40 hours of off-site instructional training
- Three days of hands-on, site-specific practice in the field
The online portion provided by OSH Center fulfills the off-site instruction requirement. Employers are responsible for providing the three days of supervised, worksite-specific practice.
