Our online course, Understanding Chemical Hazards, aims to assist facilities in fulfilling OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120) requirements.

Understanding Chemical Hazards

COURSE OVERVIEW

The online Understanding Chemical Hazards course is purposefully created to support facilities in adhering to OSHA’s HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120). According to these regulations, distinct training prerequisites exist for employees based on their interaction level with hazardous materials. The Understanding Chemical Hazards course, a part of the HAZWOPER Annual Retraining Series, familiarizes employees with chemical hazard regulations and offers instruction concerning various types of hazardous chemicals found in industrial settings. The presence of hazardous materials and waste is common in several work situations and can be found across a range of job locations. As such, it is crucial for employees to have the capability to identify these potentially harmful substances, and know the correct methods of handling and disposing of them. This is why OSHA insists that any individuals working with these substances must receive thorough training in this field.
