Why Should You Take This HAZWOPER Supervisor Training?

The HAZWOPER Supervisor training is an 8-hour course designed for on-site management and supervisors directly responsible for, or who supervise employees engaged in hazardous waste operations. This course is required for anyone engaged in supervizing hazardous substance removal or other activities which may expose workers to hazardous substances and health hazards on a regulated hazardous waste site. 

Prerequisite:  HAZWOPER - 40 Hour initial certification

How Does HAZWOPER and HAZMAT Differ?

Hazardous Material:  A substance (gas, liquid, or solid) capable of creating harm to people, the environment, and/or property. Some examples include: solvents, paints, gasoline, adhesives, lubricants, etc.

Hazardous Waste: A contaminated chemical or by-product of a production process Â›that no longer serves its purpose, and needs to be disposed of properly by EPA and DOT laws/regulations.  

HAZMAT: Is often used when discussing the transport of hazardous materials, but any aspect of hazardous materials production, transport, use, disposal, or cleanup is covered under this standard.

HAZWOPER: Refers to ALL training that deals with hazardous waste operation and emergency response to chemical spills or releases - Toxicity, Volatility, Flammability, Explosiveness, Corrosiveness. 

The HAZWOPER Standard covers five (5) specific areas of operations, including:

• Clean-up operations required by a governmental body, involving hazardous substances at an uncontrolled/abandoned hazardous waste site
• Corrective actions involving cleanup operations at controlled sites covered by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 
• Voluntary cleanup operations at sites recognized by the government as uncontrolled hazardous waste sites
• Operations involving hazardous waste that are conducted at treatment, storage, disposal facilities regulated by RCRA (EPA)
• ›Emergency response operations for releases, or substantial threats of releases, of hazardous substances without regard to the location

This is a follow up to the HAZWOPER - 40 Hour course. Managers and supervisors require the same level of training as the people they supervise, plus 8 additional hours of supervisor training. This workshop prepares you to immediately apply your knowledge to the field, with extensive hands-on training and real-world examples from experienced instructors.
