OSHA 24-Hour HAZWOPER Online

We offer an OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER course that can be taken entirely online. While the 24 Hour HAZWOPER course provides a thorough overview of the equipment available to HAZWOPER workers, this portion of the course is less detailed than the 40-hour training.

While this course gives students a thorough overview to the equipment that is available to HAZWOPER workers, it does not cover it in the same detail as the 40-hour training, nor does it require any hands-on training.
