HAZWOPER Clean-up Site Worker (Refresher)

EMI classes are only available through the Indianapolis Ivy Tech campus at this time. For more information, contact Indianapolis-EMI@ivytech.edu.

This course is delivered under the supervision of the Ivy Tech Environmental Management Institute (EMI), with partial support from the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) grant #ES06184.

Under OSHA's HAZWOPER standards (29 CFR 1910.120 and 29 CFR 1926.59), employees who may be exposed to hazardous materials or biological hazards during cleanup, TSDF operations, or emergency response incidents must complete periodic refresher training. For workers performing cleanup at government-recognized hazardous waste sites or working at RCRA-permitted TSDFs, OSHA requires an 8-hour annual refresher.

While OSHA does not specify refresher hours for emergency responders, EMI's training fully covers all required elements of the HAZWOPER standard. As a participant in the Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training -funded by NIEHS -EMI uses nationally recognized, top-quality instructional materials that are widely used across the country.

This refresher course reviews essential concepts from the initial course, updates participants on changing regulations and best practices, and reinforces learning through hands-on tabletop exercises and a final challenge exam.

Upon successful completion of the HAZWOPER Clean-Up Site Worker Refresher, participants will:

Review:

  • Major topics covered in the HZW2 HAZWOPER Cleanup Site Worker Initial course

Employee registration is coordinated by the Program Manager supporting your training. Depending on the course, employees may register in person, through an organization-provided roster, or via a self-registration link. Your Program Manager will guide you through the best option for your specific training.
