- First Responder Operations – Initial: 8hrs / Annual: Competancy
- HAZMAT Technician – Initial: 24hrs / Annual: Competancy
- HAZMAT Specialist – Initial: 24hrs / Annual: Competancy
- Incident Commander – Initial: 24hrs / Annual: Competancy
Level 2. Cleanup of Contaminated Hazardous Waste Sites
- 40 hour HAZWOPER Site Worker – Initial: 40hrs / Annual: 8hrs
- 24 hour (Occasional) HAZWOPER Site Worker – Initial: 24hrs / Annual: 8hrs
- HAZWOPER Supervisor – Initial: 40hrs + 8hrs Supervisor / Annual: 8hrs
Level 3. Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) of Hazardous Waste

The OSHA HAZWOPER Standard (29 CFR Part 1910.120) – requires that all employees that are exposed to or handle hazardous materials must take a 24hr or 40hr HAZWOPER Training Course and an 8hr Annual Refresher, at a level required by their job function and responsibility, before they are permitted to engage in hazardous waste operations that could expose them to hazardous substances. On-site, job-specific equipment training provided by the employer is essential to fulfill the HAZWOPER requirement.
Every year after the initial training requirement has been met, workers are required to take an 8-hour HAZWOPER refresher course. This refresher course is designed to meet the annual training requirement for hazardous waste operations and emergency response (HAZWOPER) workers.
