40-Hour HAZWOPER 29 CFR 1910.120

www.csem.com offers the 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training. The Safety Training Class is designed to meet the initial training requirements detailed in 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3) course for workers, supervisors and management who are on site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not limited to, ground water monitoring, land surveying or geophysical surveying) and who are unlikely to be exposed to hazards over permissible exposure limits or published exposure limits.

This course certification is also intended for workers who regularly work on sites that have been monitored and fully characterized, where hazard exposures are under permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits, respirators are not necessary and there is no health hazard or the possibility of an emergency.

This course may also be appropriate as it pertains to the OSHA determination matrix https://www.osha.gov/html/faq-hazwoper.html.
