OSHA’s HAZWOPER standard, found in 29 CFR 1910.120, mandates specific training programs for workers in various environments, especially when hazardous substances are involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

IDLH stands for Immediately Dangerous for Life or Health. When a situation exists where this is the case, the minimum number of people that should be dealing with things is four. Two people will be in the IDLH situation with the other 2 people standing by to rescue those working in the IDLH situation.

It is important that the HAZWOPER refresher course be taken within 12 months of the last certification/recertification. The need to repeat the full 24-hour or 40-hour training course must be determined based on the employee’s familiarity with safety and health procedures used on-site. This refresher course must be taken at the earliest possible option with a description of why the training was delayed as well as when the training will be completed.

Even though those workers are not directly involved with the cleanup activities, they are still required to have HAZWOPER training in order to protect themselves and to understand what is going on with the cleanup tasks. At a minimum the 24-hour HAZWOPER training will be required for these workers.
