OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER Courses — Know the Difference

Did you know there are FIVE 24-Hour HAZWOPER Courses required by the OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120?
Each of these courses is very different in both to whom they apply and the topics that are covered during the training.

Overview

When they respond to chemical spills, Hazmat Technicians are typically members of Hazmat Teams, often referred to as Spill Response Teams or Emergency Response Teams.

OSHA requires Hazardous Materials Technicians to be trained in accordance with section (q) of the HAZWOPER regulation. This training is also referred to as Hazmat Tech, Level III Responder, Industry Tech, or any combination of these terms.

Per OSHA, this training requires annual refresher training of sufficient content and duration to maintain responder competencies.

Custom Animations

Students are shown a complete animated video series depicting an entire hazmat emergency from incident notification to termination.

Our blended version includes 16 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 24-hour 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.

This version of the OSHA 24 Hour Hazmat Technician Course may still need to be followed up with on-site specific equipment training because the equipment that is used during the instruction for our classroom training may not be the exact equipment employees will be using as part of their job functions. For this reason many users opt to take the OSHA 24 Hour Hazmat Technician Online course.

We are always working to add new locations across the United States for students to take the hands-on portion of their training. We do this through an affiliate partnership with other training providers, but are very selective we partner about with whom to ensure the highest quality training.

Some students prefer to get the 8-hour hands-on training locally through another training provider, or even through their employer. For those students, we offer an Online 16 Hour Hazmat Technician course to combine with the hands-on portion.
