Should I Take the 24 or 40 hour HAZWOPER?: Per OSHA's
Interpretations: "Workers, such as utility workers, who must perform duties
at a hazardous waste site that has not yet been characterized but where
contamination is expected, do fall under the scope of 29 CFR 1910.120. These
workers must work under the direction of an on-site supervisor and a
site-specific safety and health plan, and must be fully trained and protected
pursuant to the HAZWOPER standard. When additional information becomes available
through site characterization which verifies that there is minimal or no risk of
employee exposure to hazardous substances, a lesser degree of PPE and worker
training may be acceptable.
When site characterization shows that the area to be serviced by workers is free
of potential exposure, or the proposed work assignments would not expose any of
the work crew to hazardous substances, the activity can be carried out as a
normal maintenance or construction operation.
***NOTE*** Employees who have duties related to handling or cleaning up
hazardous materials or wasted in any of these function should take the 40-hour
HAZWOPER course. The 24-hour course is designed for "Occasional Site Workers"
meaning those individuals who ARE NOT required them to handle waste or hazardous
materials as part of their job functions.
