FAQs

    The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) applies to five distinct groups of employers and their employees. This includes any employees who are exposed or potentially exposed to hazardous substances -- including hazardous waste -- and who are engaged in one of the following operations as specified by 1910.120(a)(1)(i-v) and 1926.65(a)(1)(i-v):
  • clean-up operations -- required by a governmental body, whether federal, state, local, or other involving hazardous substances -- that are conducted at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites
  • corrective actions involving clean-up operations at sites covered by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.)
  • voluntary clean-up operations at sites recognized by federal, state, local, or other governmental body as uncontrolled hazardous waste sites
  • operations involving hazardous wastes that are conducted at treatment, storage, and disposal facilities regulated by Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 264 and 265 pursuant to RCRA, or by agencies under agreement with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement RCRA regulations
  • emergency response operations for releases of, or substantial threats of releases of, hazardous substances regardless of the location of the hazard.
Refresher training may be given in segments so long as the required 8 hours have been completed by the employee's anniversary date.
If the date for refresher training has lapsed, the need to repeat initial training must be determined based on the employee's familiarity with safety and health procedures used on site. The employee should take the next available refresher training course. "There should be a record in the employee's file indicating why the training has been delayed and when the training will be completed."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a HAZWOPER standard (40 CFR 311) identical to 29 CFR 1910.120. The EPA HAZWOPER standard is intended to protect local and state government employees who perform operations within its scope (e.g., hazardous waste operations and emergency response activities) in states that do not have an OSHA-approved State Plan (Letter of Interpretation 12/18/91). The EPA regulations cover both compensated and uncompensated (volunteer) state and local government workers engaged in operations falling under HAZWOPER.
    The term "emergency response" often applies generally to any activity requiring immediate attention. Under HAZWOPER, this term applies specifically to response activities where there is an uncontrolled release of a hazardous substance, or where an uncontrolled release is likely. There are a multitude of scenarios and incidents that could result in releases of hazardous substances. Some examples include:
  • Leaking of a hazardous substance from a storage tank or container
  • An overturned truck or railcar carrying hazardous materials
  • Chemical fires
  • Mechanical breakdown in a chemical process
  • Excavating/trenching buried contaminants or toxins
  • Site preparation uncovering buried hazardous waste
  • Building earthen berms to contain hazardous waste runoff.
