HAZWOPER Training Emergency Response Initial — Hazmat-Technician-Level Responders
High-impact multi-course training covering the essentials of emergency response operations (HAZWOPER) at a hazmat technician level.
First responders at the hazardous materials (hazmat) technician level are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances for the purpose of stopping the release. They take a more aggressive role than lower-level responders and will approach the point of release to plug, patch, or otherwise stop the release.
To prepare for these duties, first responders at the technical level need to know about:
- Their organization's Emergency Response Plan and how to implement it
- Hazardous substance classification, identification, and verification using field survey instruments and equipment
- Their assigned role within the Incident Command System
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) selection and use
- Hazard and risk assessment
- Advance control, containment, and/or confinement measures
- Decontamination procedure implementation
- Termination procedures
- Chemical and toxicological behavior and terminology

IMPORTANT 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 curriculum 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, 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
- Meet the training duration requirement under §1910.120(q)(6)/§1926.65(q)(6) (NOTE: This online training course curriculum is not intended to fill the training duration requirement of 24 hours, and it is anticipated the remaining duration will be filled with the items in the bullets above)
- 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 curriculum does not provide HAZWOPER certification; the online course curriculum certificate only acknowledges the completion of the online training itself.)
