HAZWOPER: Introduction Overview

In this overview overview lesson you will be introduced to OSHA’s Hazardous Waste Operation and Emergency Response Standard, also known as HAZWOPER. Because exposure to hazardous substances poses a wide range of negative health effects, your employer is responsible to protect you from anticipated hazards associated with response and recovery operations for hazardous substances. This is the first overview lesson of an eight-hour refresher HAZWOPER training curriculum.
