Spanish Courses (Versions in Spanish)
You can always tell when a Training Provider is a "Virtual Training Provider" or simply someone running a "Training Company" from his or her garage during nights and on the weekends. Almost anyone can make a good looking website, but you want to be sure you are dealing with an actual Training Company.
Our OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER - Online (Spanish) course provides in-depth training on how to perform post emergency response activities and cleanups/remediation at industrial sites, Superfund and RCRA corrective action sites, and voluntary cleanups involving hazardous substances. Training includes hazard recognition, exposure limits and risk evaluation for chemical and general site safety concerns. You will review the technology and methods available to monitor and detect hazardous materials, learn how to control and contain chemical spills, establish a decontamination process, and select and use worker protective equipment, among a wide variety of other subjects.
Students who take this HAZWOPER training entirely online are those workers who will receive follow-up instruction with site-specific equipment training conducted by their employer, or those who require 40-hour HAZWOPER training but will not use any equipment on the work site.
It should be noted that the 40 Hour HAZWOPER Online training does not allow students the practical experience and ability to handle the tools and equipment available to the HAZWOPER worker. On-site, job-specific equipment training provided by the employer is essential to fulfill the HAZWOPER requirement.
We also offer the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER Combo course that includes hands-on training as an option.
Students complete the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER training course entirely online. Instead of in-person, hands-on training, students are shown over 100 short video clips that simulate one of our 8-hour hands-on sessions. The video clips demonstrate HAZWOPER equipment in great detail and students have the ability to review the videos as many times as necessary.

This course is designed to help workers meet the OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER training requirement for 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(i) and 49 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(i).
This OSHA 40 Hour HAZWOPER course requires annual 8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher training to keep current and comply with OSHA regulations. Refresher training should be completed within one year of completing this initial training course and every year thereafter.
Workers must receive additional training, when required by Federal, State, or local regulations, on the specific hazards of their job. Additional training in the use of any personal protective equipment or clothing used as part of emergency response is required and should be provided by your employer.
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 supplied by his or her employer. 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.
Once workers have completed their 40 hours of training, OSHA requires that worker must get supervised field experience.
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.
Many people mistakenly think this is part of their initial training and it is NOT. 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 rather 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.
While we have found that most employers do not document this field experience, we have created forms that employers can use to document this field experience:

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.
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.
Our courses are set up to take a specific amount of time. Some students may get through the training more quickly, while others may take longer to complete their training.

Because this is a Beta version of our course, you may encounter some issues as we work out the kinks. If you have difficulties with this course, please contact Customer Support.
While HTML5 makes taking this course on mobile devices possible, not all mobile browsers are optimized for HTML5, meaning you may not have complete functionality. If you have difficulty taking this course using the browser on your mobile device, you may need to use a different browser.
Test the functionality of your browser using HTML5 and compare it to the performance of other browsers. If you find other browsers are more compatible than your own, you may want to make the switch.
