Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER)

Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) is a set of regulations established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure the safety of workers dealing with hazardous materials. It covers the proper handling, clean-up, and management of hazardous waste, as well as responses to emergencies involving hazardous substances. HAZWOPER training equips workers with knowledge about health risks, safety procedures, and environmental protection. This training is crucial for those involved in clean-up activities, emergency response teams, and operations at sites with hazardous waste to prevent accidents and safeguard public health.
