    This is Part Four of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part Four covers hazard and risk assessment. Individuals involved in hazardous waste operations and emergency response need to know and understand what hazards they may encounter in their work environment. They must be trained to identify hazards so that they can first assess them, and then take steps to control them whenever possible. This module examines the different types of hazards, their properties, and systems available for identifying them. It also discusses risk and how to assess the scene of an emergency involving hazardous waste.

    This is Part Five of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part Five covers toxicology. Everyone is exposed on and off the job to a variety of chemical substances. Most are not hazardous under ordinary circumstances, but they all have the potential to cause injury at some concentration. How a material is used is the major factor for determining its hazard potential. The module provides an overview of toxicology to help trainees understand the potential effects of the hazardous substances they work with.

    Course Length:
    47 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:

    This is Part Six of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part Six covers monitoring and medical surveillance. Because of the potentially harmful effects of hazardous waste, the OSHA HAZWOPER standard requires monitoring and medical surveillance of certain employees involved with hazardous waste operations and emergency response. Monitoring helps to determine what protection is needed before exposure to hazardous materials. Medical surveillance allows for the early detection of diseases or conditions caused by exposure to hazardous materials so treatment can be given to prevent further illness.

    Course Length:
    50 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:
  • What monitoring is

    This is Part Seven of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part Seven covers respiratory protection. Respirators provide vital protection against chemicals and oxygen-deficient atmospheres. For this reason it is critical to know how to select and use the appropriate respirator for the job. All respirators are not created equal: not all of them will provide protection in atmospheres with low oxygen or certain other atmospheric hazards. In this module, those with a role in hazardous waste operations and emergency response will learn how to protect themselves fully from the breathing hazards they may face.

    Course Length:
    40 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:
  • When respirators must be used

Part Eight covers PPE, personal protective equipment, your last line of defense against hazardous materials in your work environment. Although PPE cannot provide protection from all exposure, when properly selected and worn it can prevent unnecessary harmful exposures. For this reason it is critical to select the appropriate protective equipment for the job.

    Course Length:
    29 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:
  • PPE selection
  • Levels of PPE protection and the PPE components applicable to each level

    Course Languages:
    English

    HAZWOPER Refresher Training v2 - Module 09 - Confined Spaces
    This is Part Nine of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part Nine covers confined spaces. Many work environments contain spaces that are considered 'confined' because their shape and size make conditions difficult for employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. There are many instances where employees who work in confined spaces face increased risk of exposure to serious hazards. In some cases, confined space work keeps employees closer to hazards, such as asphyxiating atmospheres. Work-related accidents in confined spaces usually result in serious injury or death. For this reason, special procedures must be followed when working in confined spaces and they are reviewed in this module.

    Course Length:
    42 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:
  • Permit-required confined spaces and non-permit required confined spaces
  • Hazards associated with confined spaces
  • Roles and responsibilities of the confined space entry team
  • The entry permit and other procedural safeguards when conducting a confined space entry
  • Emergency response in confined spaces

    HAZWOPER Refresher Training v2 - Module 10 - Spill Prevention
    This is Part Ten of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part Ten covers spill prevention. Those working in hazardous waste operations and emergency response need to know how to prevent spills or leaks of hazardous materials and how to respond if or when they do occur. Prompt and proper action can mean the difference between an emergency and a disaster. This module of the HAZWOPER refresher training presents leak and spill control procedures – how to prevent them in the first place and what to do about them if they do occur.

    Course Length:
    37 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:
  • Preventive measures for spills and releases
  • Basic precautions for handling drums and containers
  • Steps to take in spill response

    Course Languages:
    English

    HAZWOPER Refresher Training v2 - Module 11 - Site Control
    This is Part 11 of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part 11 covers site control. If uncontrolled, a spill or release of hazardous waste could spread rapidly, leading to contamination on a large scale. For this reason, site control is required on a hazardous waste site. Site control helps limit the spread of contamination in the event of a spill or release of a hazardous substance and is a critical component of the HAZWOPER standard. The site control program is designed to reduce the spread of hazardous substances from contaminated areas to clean areas, to identify and isolate contaminated areas of the site, to facilitate emergency evacuation and medical care, to prevent unauthorized entry to the site, and to deter vandalism and theft. This module examines the elements of a site control program and how they can be implemented.

    Course Length:
    31 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:
  • Elements of a site control program
  • How site control program elements are used to prevent contamination

    Course Languages:
    English

Part 12 covers decontamination, an important set of procedures designed to protect the environment, emergency responders, and other people from exposures or contamination resulting from a hazardous materials incident. This module presents the basics of decontamination to prevent the spread of hazardous materials to people and the environment.

    Course Length:
    31 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:

    This is Part 13 of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. This final module of our hazwoper training deals with emergency response. Emergency incidents are actual or potential spills or releases of hazardous materials into the environment. Because the possibility of damage to people, property and the environment is so serious, prompt and proper emergency response is critical. Training in safe emergency response practices will reduce the chances of harm to people or property. All organizations must plan for emergencies. Depending on operations, formal HAZWOPER emergency response planning may be required and that is covered in this module.

    Course Length:
    41 Minutes

    Learning Objectives:
  • Onsite and off site emergencies
