OVERVIEW:
Compliance Solutions is proud to present our “Activity-Based” 8-Hour HAZWOPER Annual Refresher course. Unlike common “lecture style” courses, Students participate in several group activities to characterize and examine site scenarios and develop the necessary reasoning and thinking employees need when working at hazardous waste sites or when responding to emergency site situations (para e); This annual refresher training meets or exceeds OSHA requirements mandated under 29 CFR 1910.120. For “open enrollment” or onsite classes, we can also fulfill requirements for emergency responders at TSDF’s (Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities) under (para p), as well as emergency responders who respond to hazardous substance releases (para q).
