✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This annual refresher is designed for workers who already hold current 40-hour or 24-hour HAZWOPER training and need to keep it up to date each year under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(8). Common roles include:

• Hazardous waste site workers who previously completed 40-hour HAZWOPER training and work on cleanup operations
• Environmental remediation and cleanup crew members who need their annual 8-hour update
• Treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facility workers who completed 24-hour or 40-hour initial training
• Emergency responders who handle hazardous substance releases and hold current HAZWOPER certification

• Technicians and laborers on Superfund, RCRA corrective action, and voluntary cleanup projects
• Contractors and subcontractors assigned to hazardous waste operations who must stay current annually

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the OSHA Requirement?

This course is designed to meet the 8-hour annual refresher requirement of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(8) for workers who already hold current 40-hour or 24-hour initial HAZWOPER training. OSHA has interpreted online delivery of the annual refresher as acceptable, with trainer access for questions (see OSHA's interpretation letter dated October 20, 1999). Keep in mind that OSHA does not approve or certify training courses, so no course can be called "OSHA-approved." Just as important, this refresher maintains but does not replace your initial 40-hour or 24-hour HAZWOPER training, and it does not replace your employer's site-specific training, hands-on training, or the supervised field experience required by the standard. The certificate you receive is acceptable documentation that you completed the annual refresher, which you keep and provide to your employer for their records.

✅ OSHA Training Requirements

Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e), hazardous waste site workers must complete initial training before they are allowed to engage in hazardous waste operations, and they must receive an annual refresher afterward. In practice, HAZWOPER training addresses:

• The requirements of the HAZWOPER standard and the operations it covers
• The names of personnel and alternates responsible for site safety and health
• Safety, health, and other hazards present on site and how to recognize them
• The use of personal protective equipment and the levels of protection (Levels A through D)
• Work practices to minimize risks from site hazards, including site control and decontamination
• Safe use of engineering controls and equipment, air monitoring, and medical surveillance
• The contents of the site safety and health plan and emergency response procedures

How this course helps: This course provides the full 8 hours of annual refresher training required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(8), reviewing site characterization, air monitoring, PPE and levels of protection, decontamination, and emergency response. To be compliant, the worker must already hold current 40-hour or 24-hour HAZWOPER training, and the employer provides the site-specific and hands-on elements, including supervised field experience, for the worker's actual job site.

✅ How Often Is Refresher Training Required?

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(8) requires the 8-hour refresher annually — every 12 months — to maintain your HAZWOPER certification. Completing this refresher on schedule keeps your training current. If your refresher lapses and a significant amount of time passes, your employer may need to determine whether some or all of your initial training must be repeated before you can return to hazardous waste operations, so it is important not to let the annual deadline slip.

✅ How to Stay Compliant

1. Confirm you already hold current 40-hour or 24-hour initial HAZWOPER training before taking this refresher.
2. Complete this 8-hour annual refresher every 12 months to maintain your certification under 1910.120(e)(8).
3. Save the certificate that is emailed to you the moment you finish, and give a copy to your employer for their training records.
4. Ask your employer for the site-specific training, hands-on training, and supervised field experience required for your actual job site.
5. Review your site safety and health plan, air monitoring results, and decontamination procedures before beginning work.
6. Track your refresher due date so you complete next year's 8-hour refresher before your current training lapses.
7. Report any changes in site conditions, new hazards, or equipment problems to your site safety officer right away.
