Classroom 40 Hour OSHA HAZWOPER
Federal and California Regulation OSHA HAZWOPER Standard
About This Training
The classroom affords the student the opportunity to receive practical experience and the ability to handle the tools and equipment that are available to the HAZWOPER worker.
This version of the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER course may still need to be followed up with on-site specific equipment training because the equipment that is used during the instruction for our classroom training may not be the exact equipment the employee will be using as part of their job function.
Target Audience
