NOTE: In OSHA's view, HAZWOPER online training, by itself, is not sufficient to meet the intent of the agency's training requirements for HAZWOPER, 29 CFR 1910.120 for general industry or 29 CFR 1926.65 for construction. Therefore, online training must be supplemented by site-specific elements, hands-on training and exercises, and an opportunity for trainees to ask questions of a qualified trainer. When using this course as a tool to help with training under 1910.120(q)(6)/1926.65(q)(6), we suggest you:
- Ensure your trainer is qualified, in accordance with 1910.120(q)(7)/1926.65(q)(7);
- Augment the online training with site-specific elements;
- Tailor your training to the employees' assigned duties;
- Include hands-on training to familiarize trainees with equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe practices;
- Provide trainees with immediate and direct access to a qualified trainer as they are taking the course;
- Offer an opportunity for trainees to ask questions of the qualified trainer;
- Ensure all training elements listed in the regulation are covered; and
- Ensure the employer certifies the trainee has met the training requirements in accordance with 1910.120(q)(6)/1926.65(q)(6). (NOTE: The online training does not provide HAZWOPER certification; the online course certificate only acknowledges the completion of the online training itself.)
