This is the ninth course in a ten-part series forming the 40-hour HAZWOPER training program for General Site Workers, in accordance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120.
This course focuses on common construction-related hazards and the corresponding training requirements. Key topics include scaffold safety, slips, trips, and falls, ladders and stairways, electrical safety, excavation and trenching, cranes and rigging, and the safe operation of powered industrial trucks and heavy equipment.
OSHA Requirements
The 40-hour HAZWOPER program consists of two main phases:
- 40 hours of off-site instructional training
- Three days of supervised, site-specific hands-on practice
Training provided through OSH Center fulfills the off-site instruction portion. Employers are responsible for ensuring the three days of on-site, hands-on training are completed.
