The details below will help you understand the program’s structure and the minimum requirements you’ll need to register.

OSHA 8-Hour Supervisor Training Course

If you manage General or Occasional Site Workers, OSHA demands you finish this additional Hazardous Waste Supervisor training program. Like our other online hazardous material courses, it too is filled with exercises and interactive projects that help you grasp the material at your own speed. Upon completing the OSHA Hazardous Waste Supervisor training course, an OSHA 8-Hour Hazardous Waste Supervisor certificate is issued showing that you have fully satisfied the OSHA requirements for a Hazardous Waste Supervisor.

Our course reviews core concepts of 29 CFR 1910.120 regulations. Specifically, we cover 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(4) regulations for General Industry. To enroll, students must prove they have already completed a 40-hour or 24-hour OSHA Hazardous Waste Worker course. This program is an entry-level course designed to be an introduction for anyone entering an industry where hazardous waste is present.

The OSHA Hazardous Waste Supervisor training course is structured as an eight-hour course that you can complete from your remote location. Students can move through lessons on a flexible basis with a maximum of 60 days to finish all milestones and pass the exam. Our Hazwoper Supervisor training course contains multiple modules, and you can complete course objectives at any time due to the online format.

Note that this course does not satisfy your annual Hazwoper refresher requirement.

Who Should Take This Course?

Hazwoper supervisor training helps professionals in leadership positions understand the role they play in protecting their workers. Our 8-Hour Hazardous Waste Supervisor course is intended for people who will supervise workers at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. Supervisors taking this course should include those who manage employees with the following responsibilities:

• Emergency response activities
• Hazardous waste clean up
• Hazardous waste treatment
• Hazardous waste disposal

If you will supervise an employee required to complete OSHA Hazwoper 24-hour or 40-hour training, you will need to first become a Hazardous Waste Supervisor. If you’re unsure whether the employees you will supervise fall under this requirement, check with your employer.

Keep in mind supervisors also need to obtain and maintain general Hazwoper certification. If you supervise employees required to complete 40-hour training, you will also need to complete the 40-hour training. The shorter course is adequate if you supervise employees required to finish only the 24-hour training.

Industries Requiring This Course

Workers in diverse industries require Hazwoper courses. As a result, many supervisors in these industries must hold hazardous waste supervisor certification. You may need this course if you will supervise workers in:

• Emergency response
• Construction
• Hazardous materials handling
• Hazardous waste storage, treatment and disposal
• Uncontrolled hazardous waste site operations

What Regulations Will This Course Satisfy?

This 8-Hour Hazardous Waste Supervisor course covers the requirements outlined in OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(e)(4). This regulation requires individuals who oversee hazardous waste operations to complete eight hours of specialized supervisor training in addition to initial Hazwoper training. Hazwoper supervisor training is a one-time requirement, so once you become certified, you do not need to take the course again.

Can This Course Double as a Regular 8-Hour Hazwoper Refresher?

Although some of the topics covered in supervisor training may overlap with the topics covered in an annual Hazwoper refresher course, one cannot be substituted for the other. In general, OSHA expects individuals to complete at least 16 hours of training during the year they become a supervisor — eight hours of employee refresher training and eight hours of supervisor and management training.

This course covers all the topics specified in Hazwoper supervisor training requirements. You can expect to learn more about:

• Supervisor regulations
• Site safety plans
• Medical surveillance
