HAZWOPER: Introduction to HAZWOPER Retraining
Course Length: 45 - 60 minutes
High-impact training
covering the essentials of HAZWOPER retraining.
Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations,
and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important
for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances,
as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly, they have mandated that
anyone working with these substances receive comprehensive training in this
area.
In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the
handling of hazardous waste. Since then, other regulations have followed,
including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these
regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on
an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials.
