16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade Combo
This 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade course is for those workers who have the 24 Hour HAZWOPER training and wish to upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER level.
29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(iv) and 29 CFR 2910.65(e)(iv)
Workers with 24 hours of training who are covered by paragraphs (e)(3)(ii) and (e)(3)(iii) of this section, and who become general site workers or who are required to wear respirators, shall have the additional 16 hours and two days of training necessary to total the training specified in paragraph (e)(3)(i) of the HAZWOPER Regulation.
If students have taken the 24 Hour HAZWOPER with another training provider, appropriate documentation will need to be provided.
In addition to taking the 16 Hour HAZWOPER Online, Safety Unlimited also offers this version that includes 8 hours of online training coupled with 8 hours of classroom training. It is really two classes combined, one online and one in a classroom environment.
In the classroom portion, students receive hands-on training during the final 8 hours of their 16-hour upgrade certification. OSHA requires workers to be adequately trained to use specialized equipment in a training environment before actually having to use it in a hazardous work environment. This session introduces students to examples of this type of equipment and allows them to practice with it.
The objectives of this course are to meet the Federal OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(i) for general industry and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(i) for construction. This course is also intended to meet any HAZWOPER training requirements for the EPA and State OSHA regulations.
Per 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(i) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(i)
General site workers (such as equipment operators, general laborers and supervisory personnel) engaged in hazardous substance removal or other activities which expose or potentially expose workers to hazardous substances and health hazards shall receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction off the site, and a minimum of three days actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor.
This course is broken down into 8 hours of online training and 8 hours of classroom training. In the classroom portion, students will get hands-on training using the equipment they learned about in the 8 hour online portion.

Each exam consists of 20 questions randomly selected from a large pool of questions. A 70% score or better is required to pass each exam.
If a student does not pass the exam the first time, they may retake the exam as many times as necessary in order to pass.
Workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job.
Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training that is supplied by their own company. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company specific training should be well documented.
The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
