HAZWOPER is an acronym that stands for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. Per OSHA standard, 29 CFR Part 1910.120, HAZWOPER training is required for any workers who perform cleanup, emergency response, or corrective actions that involve the uncontrolled release of hazardous substances.
8-Hour Refresher
AdvanceOnline’s 8-Hour HAZWOPER Annual Refresher course meets the requirements outlined in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. This course is for general site workers who complete tasks involving removing hazardous waste, exposure or potentially exposed to hazardous substances, exposure to health hazards and who need to refresh an existing 24-Hour or 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification.
This AOS 8-Hour Refresher Course will cover:
*Per OSHA’s requirements for HAZWOPER training, workers and supervisors at uncontrolled hazardous waste operations must be trained on these topics annually to remain competent.
Employees that work at HAZWOPER job sites and are in the following positions, need an annual 8-Hour Refresher Course:
When does my HAZWOPER training or refresher course expire?
HAZWOPER 8-Hour Training must be completed within 12 months of the anniversary date of your previous HAZWOPER training. If the OSHA required 8-Hour HAZWOPER training is not completed within that timeframe, you may be required to repeat the full 24-Hour or 40-Hour HAZWOPER training.
The objectives of the OSHA 24-Hour HAZWOPER course are to meet the Federal OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) for general industry and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(iii) for construction. This course is also intended to meet any HAZWOPER training requirements for the EPA and State OSHA regulations.

The AdvanceOnline OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER course provides in-depth training on how to perform post-emergency response activities and cleanups/remediation at industrial sites, Superfund and RCRA corrective action sites, and voluntary cleanups involving hazardous substances. Training includes hazard recognition, exposure limits and risk evaluation for chemical and general site safety concerns. You will review the technology and methods available to monitor and detect hazardous materials, learn how to control and contain chemical spills, establish a decontamination process, and select and use worker protective equipment, among a wide variety of other subjects.
This AOS 40-Hour Course will cover:
In both construction and general industry, a “Confined Space" is defined as a space that is “large enough for an employee to enter fully and perform assigned work, not designed for continuous occupancy by the employee, limited or restricted in the means of entry and exit.” An example of a confined space would include but aren’t limited to: tanks, storage bins, underground vaults, pits, diked areas, vessels, and silos.
These spaces have configurations that hinder the activities of employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. This required training for construction is OSHA 29 CFR 1926, Subpart AA and for other industries, confined space entry is regulated under 29 CFR 1910.146.
Confined Space Training provides you with the knowledge and understanding of OSHA guidelines and how to protect yourself, your coworkers, or anyone you supervise while working in a confined space environment. This OSHA training is provided to prevent injury, illness, or death from common confined space hazards.
Why are confined spaces considered dangerous?
Confined spaces tend to be dangerous because they're difficult to exit quickly in an emergency and your mobility is limited while you're inside. Their nature also hinders effective communication or rescue. Finally, the close quarters and restricted airflow make it easier for heat, gas, and other hazards to build up or fill the space.
What are the hazards of working in a confined space?
Asphyxiation is the leading cause of death in confined spaces. Many conditions common to confined spaces can lead to asphyxiation: oxygen deficiency, toxic atmosphere buildup, drowning or engulfment in fine particulate matter, and torso compression.
It's also possible to get trapped in confined spaces either by getting stuck in place or if your exit becomes blocked. Additionally, confined spaces amplify the hazards of whatever type of work you're performing. Noise, heat or cold, sparks, fumes, and visibility hindrances can all become a threat in a confined space very quickly.
What is an OSHA “Permit-Required Confined Space” (PRCS)?
A confined space permit is required by OSHA if the confined space has one or more of the following characteristics:
OSHA Competent Person Training for Excavation, Trenching, and Shoring course is designed for individuals seeking certification for trenching and excavation operations in compliance with OSHA regulations specified in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P.
This OSHA course will address requirements of the OSHA standards and provide information and training that is essential to workers associated with trenching and excavating so they are able to recognize hazardous conditions, take protective measures, and utilize best practices.
Competent Person Trenching and Excavation Training Includes:
Common FAQs
What industries require this OSHA training?
While excavating and trenching have a number of important applications (such as in mining, environmental restoration, and exploration), their use in the construction industry is one of the most common. These operations are used in the construction industry for pipe laying, building foundations, utility work, and more.
Why do I need Excavation and Trenching training?
This required OSHA training for excavations and trenching as specified in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P requires employers to implement specific practices that will help reduce the risk of on-the-job deaths, injuries, and illnesses at trenching and excavation sites.
While working in and around trenching and excavation worksites, some of the dangers include: cave-ins, exposure to falling loads, electrocutions, oxygen deficiency, falls, and hazardous atmospheres and others.
OSHA requires a “Competent Person” to oversee operations at an excavation or trenching site to ensure safety protocols are in place. The “Competent Person” is responsible for classifying soil, inspecting protective systems, and monitoring the site for new and/or additional hazards.
OSHA requires an employer have a designated “Competent Person Fall Protection” on all construction job sites. This designee will have the necessary experience and/or knowledge to recognize fall hazards, correct unsafe conditions, and has the ability to shut down the worksite until any and all hazards are corrected.
After an individual completes fall protection, they will be able to identify common hazards and explain important safety practices to help ensure job site safety and that each team member is can recognize fall hazards and understand how to keep themselves and coworkers safe.
This AOS course is designed for the construction industry. Course topics include:
OSHA requires that the designated competent person be able to teach others how to avoid falls and mitigate hazards. This course also aligns with requirements and standards that may pertain to your job site and are required by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), National Institute for Occupational Safety, as well as NIOSH recommendations for workplace safety.
Employers that have hazardous chemicals in their workplace are required by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, or more commonly called HazCom, to implement a hazard communication program to protect employees from hazardous chemicals that are used or stored in the workplace. This OSHA regulation is also known as “Right To Know” and stipulates that training and information is provided to any employees who have the potential of being exposed to a hazardous chemical "under normal condition of use or in a foreseeable emergency.”
The presence of hazardous chemicals are required to be communicated to employees in the following ways:
The OSHA HazCom Standard coincides with the Globally Harmonized System of Chemical Classification and Labeling (GHS). There are requirements for:
OSHA regulations require an employer to:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is defined by OSHA as “equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses.”
OSHA requires employers to train each worker that needs to use personal protective equipment to know:
If PPE is needed on a job site or in a place of work, a specific PPE program is required by OSHA. The PPE program should address the hazards that are present; the selection, maintenance, and use of PPE; the training of employees; and monitoring of the program to ensure its ongoing effectiveness.
Furthermore, OSHA requires that many categories of personal protective equipment meet or be equivalent to standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Proper OSHA documentation is a critical aspect of employee safety and health training. In addition to conducting onsite workplace safety and health training, we will make sure that your company’s employees sign safety training logs upon successful completion of each applicable OSHA topic. If your company is inspected by OSHA, you will need to have OSHA training documentation accessible. Each employee will receive a certificate of completion available in our Learning Management System, also accessible by company management. DOL OSHA Cards are mailed directly to your employees.
