For those students who are not required to take the full OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER course, we offer an OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER course that can be taken entirely online. Our 24 Hour HAZWOPER training course has an up to date curriculum, many photos, and helpful links to other great sources of useful information.
While the 24 Hour HAZWOPER course gives students a thorough overview to the equipment that is available to HAZWOPER workers, it does not cover it in the same detail as the 40-hour training, nor does it require any hands-on training.
Our OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Online course can be taken with the OSHA 8 Hour HAZWOPER Supervisor (Initial) Training as a package deal as described in the Discount Tab.
Students that have taken the 24 Hour HAZWOPER course can upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER level by taking an additional 16 hours of training. This can be accomplished by taking the 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade. Also, there is no time limit on when the additional 16 hours of training can be added to the 24 hours of initial training.
We also offer the OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Classroom course as an option.
The objectives of the OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER are to meet the Federal OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) for general industry and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(iii) 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)(ii) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(iii)
Workers 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 over permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits shall receive a minimum of 24 hours of instruction off the site, and the minimum of one day actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
This fully narrated course is built for success with interactions, exercises, and quiz questions along the way. Students must answer each quiz question in order to proceed. These questions are intended to help prepare students for the module exams.
This course has 5 module exams based upon the 5 modules. Students are required to complete each exam once they complete all the sections within the corresponding module. The intention is that students take the corresponding exam while the information is still fresh. THERE IS NO FINAL EXAM.
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.

Students that have taken the 24 Hour HAZWOPER course can upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER level by taking an additional 16 hours of training. This can be accomplished by taking the 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade. Also, there is no time limit on when the additional 16 hours of training can be added to the 24 hours of initial training.
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.
Q - If I have had the 24 Hour HAZWOPER training and want to upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER, do I need to take the entire training over again?
A - No, students that have taken the 24 Hour HAZWOPER course can upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER level by taking an additional 16 hours of training. This can be accomplished by taking the 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade.
Q - How much time do I have after completing the 24 Hour HAZWOPER training before I must upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER level?
A - There is no specified time limit within the OSHA regulation. However, it is important that students have completed yearly refresher training sessions.
Q - In reference to the requirement for employees to have "a minimum of one day actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor," per the HAZWOPER regulation, can I do some of my training during that time?
A - The one-day requirement of direct supervision has nothing to do with the training requirement. This requirement is meant to ensure that newly trained employees are not sent to a work site and left unsupervised but get supervised field experience for at least one day. It is not part of their training period; it is part of their job function period.
Q - How long will this course take to complete?
A - Our courses are set up to take a specific amount of time. Some students may get through the training more quickly, while others may actually take longer to complete their training. Remember, this training should be used as an intricate tool in the context of an overall training program; it can be combined with other training throughout the year in order to meet any hour requirements needed.
Q - Do I have to finish the course in one sitting?
A - No, our courses are designed so you can start and stop as needed, allowing you to break the training up over a longer period of time. Our system will keep track of your progress, enabling you to resume where you left off upon your next log in. It is important that once you start a section, you complete that section or you will need to start that section over from the beginning upon your return.
Q - Can I take the course from more than one computer?
A - Yes, you can take the online portion by signing in with your username and password from any location and computer with high-speed internet access. However, each computer does need to meet our basic system requirements for viewing our online courses.
Q - Will I receive a certificate for this course?
A - Yes, once you have completed a course, you are able to download, save, or print a certificate of completion from your student account. Certificates are created in a pdf format. Users must have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader before attempting to download the completion certificate.
Q - Will I receive a wallet ID card?
A - Yes, in addition to the pdf certificate, this course also comes with a laminated wallet ID card mailed from our Main Office in Southern California. Wallet ID cards are created and mailed either the same or next business day, depending on what time the course is completed. Please allow for appropriate mail time, as this may vary by location.
