New HAZWOPER Training Decision Maker Available Now

Posted on 11/18/2024 by Lion Technology Inc.

HAZWOPER training is essential to protect the health and safety of employees who work with or around hazardous substances, including those who do crucial work as emergency responders and to clean up hazardous waste sites.

For business owners, employers, and workers, the regulations that make up the HAZWOPER Standard are dense and complex, and can be difficult to make sense of, stretching easily north of 10,000 words and organized into hundreds of subparagraphs.

HAZWOPER Training Requirements: 40 Hours? 24 Hours? 16? 

OSHA's HAZWOPER Standard (29 CFR 1910.120) requires extensive initial training—up to 40 hours—for covered employees based on job role and level of responsibility. Annual refresher training is mandatory as well. 

“40 hour” HAZWOPER training is only one type—other employees need 24 hours of initial training, or 8 hours, or training with no hourly requirement. So many separate training rules can make it a challenge to ensure each employee receives training of the right duration, content. etc.  

New Tool to Simplify Compliance 

A free online tool available from Lion Technology Inc. aims to simplify these requirements and help employers to make confident decisions about who must have HAZWOPER training and/or field experience, and how much, to perform their roles. 

The “HAZWOPER Training Decision Maker” is an interactive guide to the HAZWOPER training requirements for emergency responders and site cleanup workers. The tool guides users through HAZWOPER compliance by breaking down the regulations based on employee job roles, type of worksite, level of responsibility and experience level. 

The Decision Maker can be used to swiftly determine if an employee needs 40-hour HAZWOPER training, 24-hour training, 8-hour, etc. Users select from clearly defined choices about the type of workplace and the employee’s job responsibilities to quickly arrive at a tailored results screen with recommendations for training. 

Because it offers clear and actionable guidance about HAZWOPER training, the Decision Maker can help organizations prevent expensive errors like failure to train or under training employees who face the risk of hazardous substance exposure. The resource can cut down the time spent reading and re-reading the regulations, reducing a substantial administrative burden, and provide peace of mind by confirming your understanding of what the OSHA Standard requires.
