The HAZWOPER 8 hour refresher online covers the annual training every HAZWOPER-trained worker needs under 1910.120(e)(8). Q Safety Academy sells it at $100 with 12 months of access.

Workers finish it on their own time, so the refresher does not pull a whole crew off a site for a day.

HAZWOPER 8 Hour Refresher Course

The HAZWOPER Refresher Is Due Every Year

1910.120(e)(8) requires 8 hours of refresher training each year for workers trained under 1910.120(e) and their managers and supervisors. Record the date of the original course or the last refresher on your training record.

The annual refresher keeps the 40 or 24 hour training current; it does not replace it. A new worker starts with the full course and the supervised field days.

HAZWOPER Refresher Online Topics

Q Safety Academy lists these modules in the course:

  • HAZWOPER Safety Orientation and Understanding HAZWOPER
  • Accidental Release and Spill Measures
  • Handling Hazardous Materials
  • Medical Surveillance and Exposure Monitoring
  • Emergency Response Plan and Site Safety and Health Plan
  • Decontamination Procedures, PPE and Decontamination
  • Work Practices and Engineering Controls

The course ends with a certificate of completion from Q Safety Academy.

Online HAZWOPER Refresher Training Works Best With a Site Review

OSHA has accepted computer-based training for HAZWOPER when the worker can get questions answered by a qualified trainer and gets hands-on practice with the equipment used on the job. Pair the online refresher with a short session on your own respirators, monitors, and decon line.
