The Initial Training
Employers and employees part of the OSHA HAZWOPER standard must take HAZWOPER training in a 24 or 40-hour course.
The 24-hour HAZWOPER training is for people who will not be exposed to hazardous substances above or at the Permissible Exposure Limits when working at contaminated sites. Training is based on responders’ functions and duties while part of an emergency response organization.
With the 40-hour HAZWOPER training, Santa Ana, CA employees learn technical information on these and other topics:
- Health hazard monitoring techniques and procedures
- Spill containment
- Personal protective equipment (PPE)
- The employer’s health and safety program
Options for Commanders and Supervisors
Supervisors and commanders may need different training, and this is on a case-by-case basis. Don’t worry! We can help you determine what you need.
The eight-hour course for an on-scene incident commander requires the 24-hour training mentioned above. This training also helps in these areas:

We also offer eight-hour refresher courses that should be completed annually once the employees finish the initial training. These refreshers reacquaint workers with the information they learned at first.
