How long is this training course?
OSHA requires a minimum of 24 hours worth of training at the hazardous materials level. We'd advocate for more but know our clients often have trouble stepping away for the 3 days (much less more). So. Hold on to your hats....We pack a lot into 3 days/ 24-hours' time!

Is there a refresher requirement?
Yes, this level of OSHA HAZWOPER Training is required to complete an annual refresher or meet the competency standards established in the regulations.
Most company's employees are not responding often enough or to complex enough incidents to sufficiently document demonstrated competency. THANK GOODNESS...lets be real! If you were, it's likely you'd be in pretty big troubles!
