Course Overview

Are you responsible for ensuring the safety of workers in environments with hazardous substances? Do you need to comply with OSHA regulations while keeping your workplace healthy and secure? This comprehensive course on monitoring procedures and equipment, exposure monitoring, and medical surveillance safety will equip you with the critical knowledge and tools to meet these challenges head-on.

Designed with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 (HAZWOPER) and other key regulations in mind, this course covers everything from exposure monitoring to the use of advanced monitoring equipment and the integration of medical surveillance programs. You’ll learn how to identify hazardous substances, conduct exposure assessments, and select appropriate monitoring procedures for both real-time and periodic sampling. We’ll also dive into the biological monitoring needed to track exposure over time and how to interpret and act on monitoring data.

Medical surveillance plays a vital role in protecting worker health. You’ll discover how to develop and manage a surveillance program that includes pre-employment screening, periodic health assessments, and post-exposure evaluations. Understanding and maintaining compliance with regulations like 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Z (Toxic and Hazardous Substances) is critical, and this course will show you how.

This training is ideal for professionals in industries such as construction, manufacturing, waste management, healthcare, or any field where hazardous material handling and occupational exposure are concerns. If workplace safety, compliance, and protecting employee health are your priorities, this course is for you.

This program is available with closed captions in Spanish and French.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

HAZWOPER, or the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, is an OSHA regulation (29 CFR 1910.120) designed to protect workers involved in hazardous waste operations, including clean-up, treatment, and emergency response. It sets strict guidelines for health and safety procedures, monitoring hazardous substances, and implementing medical surveillance programs to reduce the risk of accidents and long-term health effects. HAZWOPER ensures that workers are properly trained, monitored, and medically evaluated to safeguard their well-being in environments where hazardous substances are present.

Under HAZWOPER, several types of monitoring are required to protect workers from hazardous materials, including area monitoring, personal monitoring, perimeter monitoring, and periodic monitoring. These monitoring practices help ensure compliance with OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) and detect any increase in dangerous exposure levels that may pose health risks.

Medical surveillance is a critical component of HAZWOPER, designed to monitor the health of workers exposed to hazardous substances. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, employees who are regularly exposed to hazardous substances at or above the action level, wear respirators for more than 30 days per year, or respond to hazardous waste emergencies are required to participate in a medical surveillance program. This ensures early detection of work-related health issues and helps maintain long-term worker health.

HAZWOPER training is required if your workplace involves operations such as hazardous waste clean-up, emergency response to hazardous substance releases, or handling and disposal of hazardous materials. This applies to workers at sites regulated by government clean-up programs or those involved in the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Employers should assess the nature of the hazards present and consult OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 to determine specific training requirements.

A comprehensive monitoring plan under HAZWOPER should include the following components: hazard identification, monitoring procedures, frequency and duration, equipment use and calibration, data interpretation, documentation, and recordkeeping. Following these steps helps employers ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and protect workers from hazardous exposures.
