Online, Interactive, Self-Paced Course Meets OSHA Requirements

WASHINGTON, April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CHEMTREC^®, known for its 24/7 worldwide hazmat emergency response call center, has created a fully interactive HAZWOPER 8-hour Refresher online training course that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120 requirements.

"Our customers and other industry professionals were asking us to develop a HAZWOPER 8-hour Refresher course," said Bruce Samuelsen, CHEMTREC's Chief Executive. "There was a growing need for a training that kept users engaged while still providing high quality content. We developed our course with this in mind," he continued.

OSHA regulations state that workers need to refresh their existing 24-hour or 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) certification every 12 months to stay up-to-date and review safety practices related to hazardous waste and hazardous materials operations.

The CHEMTREC course includes the materials required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. Users will learn a variety of topics, such as personal protective equipment, decontamination, confined space entry, hazard communication, and emergency and fire preparedness.

"CHEMTREC's online training is different than other virtual trainings. Our courses are fully interactive, with knowledge checks throughout each section to keep the user engaged. We also allow the user to start, stop, and resume at any time so that training can fit easily into their everyday schedule," said Samuelsen.

While OSHA does not recommend, approve, certify, or endorse individual training programs, CHEMTREC's program is gold standard and meets the requirements for HAZWOPER 8-hour Refresher training.

CHEMTREC's virtual courses make it easier than ever to stay up to date on required training certifications. All of CHEMTREC's courses are available to take at the user's own pace. When a user completes the course, they will receive a printable certificate and wallet card for their records.
