Description
HAZWOPER (40 hour) Training
Course Details
This training program covers the requirements of the OSHA HAZWOPER standard (29CFR 1910.120). This standard sets out the minimum training requirements for site workers on hazardous waste sites, environmental remediation and emergency projects in the United States of America. The quality and comprehensive nature of this standard makes it applicable and attractive to those employers and workers who work at Canadian workplaces that contain environmental contamination or hazardous materials.
Note: Participants must wear appropriate CSA-certified footwear. This program has a very significant practical component that can be physically demanding for some.
