This online Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 8-hour training provides refresher training to tribal environmental professionals who are exposed or potentially exposed to hazardous substances or health hazards. This HAZWOPER 8-hour refresher meets OSHAā€™s mandated refresher requirements under 29 CFR 1910.120 for participants who have successfully completed 24-hour or 40-hour HAZWOPER training and have maintained 8-hour refresher training each year since their initial training. It is crucial that employees receive proper prior off-site training and on-the-job training specific to their job duties. It is the employerā€™s responsibility to ensure workers remain competent in activities specific to their job functions and determine if this training meets the needs for annual refresher training. Additionally, participants require site-specific hands on training, this responsibility remains with employers. The employer may determine that hands-on training is unnecessary for a refresher course, however, must assess the employeesā€™ skill level, and ensure that workers remain competent in their current and any newly assigned duties. See OSHAā€™s HAZWOPER Training Requirements for more information.
