OSHA has established several levels of training under the umbrella of HAZWOPER. Participants that have taken one or both of the training levels know exactly what is meant by this acronym. HAZWOPER stands for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response.
OSHA defines HAZWOPER through the General Industry Regulation Title 29, section 1910.120, also called 29 CFR 1910.20. This regulation defines several operations where HAZWOPER training is required, which will be reviewed in this Awareness Training.
