EH&S Compliance Solutions for DOT, OSHA, and EPA

HAZWOPER training has long been a staple of workplace safety programs in hazardous industries, but as regulations evolve and new workplace challenges emerge, the way companies deliver and apply this training is shifting rapidly. In 2025, the emphasis is no longer just on checking a compliance box—it's about adapting to a workforce and risk environment that looks very different than it did a few years ago.

In recent developments, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has reinforced the necessity of hands-on training within the 40-hour HAZWOPER certification process. This move aims to enhance the practical preparedness of workers dealing with hazardous waste operations and emergency responses.

For those working in hazardous waste management, emergency response, or any high-risk environment, HAZWOPER certification isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a requirement. OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.120 standard mandates that employees handling hazardous materials receive the proper training to ensure safety and compliance. However, with different HAZWOPER training levels available, choosing the right course can be overwhelming.

HAZWOPER Training is more then just containing damaging chemicals and potentially saving lives. It teaches you good soft skills to know when you find yourself in day to day conflicts.
