For those students who are looking to take the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER training course from their computer via the internet, we offer a course that can be completed entirely online.

Instead of hands-on training, students are shown over 50 short video clips as if they were at the 8-hour hands-on session. These video clips are required viewing by each participant.

The video clips demonstrate HAZWOPER equipment in great detail and students have the advantage to review the videos over and over as needed during their course.

Our Online OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER course can be taken with the OSHA 8 Hour HAZWOPER Supervisor (Initial) Training as a package deal as described below.

Most users select the 40 Hour HAZWOPER online option for their training, simply because they still find a need for on-site specific equipment training, even after attending a classroom session. This is because the equipment we use and instruct on in our classroom training may not be the exact equipment that the user will be using as part of their job.

It should be noted, however, that the 40 Hour HAZWOPER online training does not allow students the practical experience and ability to handle the tools and equipment that are available to the HAZWOPER worker.

Students that should take this HAZWOPER training entirely online are those workers that, while requiring an OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER certification, will not realistically use any of this equipment on any worksite, or those workers who will use this equipment, but are given follow up instruction with on-site specific equipment training that is conducted by the employer.

It should also be noted that a worker who has taken the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER entirely online may warrant more training if, in the future, they are required to use specialized equipment.

Taking the training online and having training on-site by the employer is really the best option as it provides the best of both situations.

We also offer the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Combo course that includes hands-on training as an option.

Summary and Conclusion

This course has 8 module exams based upon the first 8 modules. It is recommended that once a student completes a module, they take the corresponding exam while the information is still fresh.

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.

If there comes a time that a worker who has taken the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER course entirely online may be required to use any of the equipment discussed during their training, more training may be warranted.

The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.

Below are some frequently asked questions specific to this course. If you do not find your question here, we do have more FAQs.

Q - Can I really take the 40 Hour HAZWOPER Online?
A - The 40 Hour HAZWOPER Course can be taken entirely online, but keep in mind that students will need to be trained on how to use any protective equipment that they need as part of their job prior to using that equipment on any worksite. This is the case whether the student takes the course online or takes the course in a classroom setting.

Q - In reference to the requirement for employees to have "a minimum of three days actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor," per the HAZWOPER regulation, can I do my hands-on training during that time?
A - The three-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 three days. 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 login. 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.
