Are your HAZWOPER courses OSHA compliant and approved?OSHA does not approve providers or courses and therefore out course is not OSHA approved. OSHA only authorizes or accepts training vendors.
Our 40-hour, 24-hour, and 8-hour refresher courses meet latest OSHA training requirements and provide compliance as required by 29 CFR Part 1910.120.
Our courses are powered by 360training.com – an OSHA Accepted Training Provider.
Who should take a 40-hour or 24-hour HAZWOPER training course?The Federal OSHA HAZWOPER Standard (29 CFR Part 1910.120) – requires that all employees that are exposed to or handle hazardous materials must take a 24hr or 40hr HAZWOPER Training Course and an 8hr Annual Refresher, at a level required by their job function and responsibility, before they are permitted to engage in hazardous waste operations that could expose them to hazardous substances.

Will I get a DOL card in the mail?Upon successful completion of a course, a temporary printable certificate will be made available. Passing students will receive a DOL card within 4-6 weeks.
Why is online training better than on-site training?Two words: convenience and self-paced.
Many workers are so busy or live in areas where classroom sessions are not practical. In a classroom, everyone marches through the same topics for the same amount of time. Online offers much greater convenience.
The self-paced nature of online allows each student to spend more time on the topics they are not familiar with and move more quickly through those that they are familiar.
And even better, the online course is equivalent to an on-site classroom course.
Is there a time restriction on completing a course and the survey?Courses do not have a time restriction, except for the OSHA Outreach Training Courses.
If you do not complete the survey within three months of your course completion, your card will not be processed. The survey link is located in your end of course instructions, please complete in a timely manner so we can process your card within the 6-8 week day timeframe.
