Federal regulations require all employees who work on sites that may expose them to hazardous substances or health hazards receive training allowing them to work safely, knowledgeably and effectively. Our NJ OSHA training classes meet all federal requirements for the initial 40-hour or 24-hour OSHA HAZWOPER certification or the 8-hour annual refresher training set forth under OSHA’s Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Regulation [29 CFR 1910.120(e)] for public and private employees covered by these regulations.

Note: TCH credits (safety) for holders of NJ drinking water and wastewater are available for all sessions of these OSHA certification courses.

40 Hour OSHA HAZWOPER Training (Days 1 thru 4) -This four-day OSHA training course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary for personal protection and safety when working with or around hazardous materials and/or waste. This course can also serve as a comprehensive basic safety class for personnel involved in site investigations, non-hazardous site remediation activities and environmental audits. (Note: If you are unemployed, the 40 Hour OSHA HAZWOPER course is approved for One-Stop Career Training.

24 Hour OSHA HAZWOPER Training (Days 1 thru 3) - The first three days of the 40-hour training program are designed to meet the 24-hour OSHA certification requirements. Twenty-four hour training is designed for workers who are on site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not limited to, groundwater monitoring and land or geophysical surveying) and who are unlikely to be exposed to chemicals at levels that exceed permissible and/or published exposure limits. This OSHA HAZWOPER training course provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary for personal protection and safety when working with or around sites that contain hazardous materials and/or waste.

8 Hour OSHA HAZWOPER Training (Day 4 Only) - The fourth day of the 40-hour training program is designed to meet the 8-hour annual refresher training requirements for OSHA HAZWOPER recertification.
