HAZARDOUS WASTE OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR TRAINING
29 CFR 1910.120 (8 hour course)
This course is for managers directly responsible for hazardous waste operations and for those who supervise or train employees involved with hazardous waste or operations that pose a threat of exposure to hazardous substances. Students should have completed either an 40-hour training for general site workers.

ANNUAL REFRESHER- HAZWOPER
29 CFR 1910.120 (8 hour course)

Hazard Communication (Right-to-Know)

29 CFR 1910.1200
Learn the details of the Hazards Communication (Haz Com) - Right To Know program. Included is an explanation of labeling and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). The class is specific to your site and industry. Upon completion the student will know hazards at your location and where they can obtain and how they can use the appropriate hazard information

Hazard Identification
Are you performing hazard audits at your location? Are corrections resulting from them?

This is a three or four-day class, depending on the current expertise at your facility.
We will train a select group at your site concerning all of the basics of performing a safety audit. To be effective auditors, the students will be given instruction on areas of OSHA compliance. Some of the major areas covered are:

• Lockout/Tagout
• Walking Working Surfaces
• Confined Spaces
• Electrical
• Hazardous Communication, and
• Machine Guarding

The final day of the class, we begin a hands-on audit in the morning session, and in the afternoon we help you develop (or make suggestions to improve) your hazard correction process.

Ergonomics
This basic Ergonomics Class covers the:

• Definition of ergonomics
• Types of ergonomic injuries
• Injury symptoms
• Correct work postures
• An overview of the proposed rule

29 CFR 1910.900
Remember, we customize the ergonomic information to your needs making this course worksite-specific. Whether it is office ergonomics or industrial applications, let us help you improve your knowledge and decrease your risk of ergonomic injuries.

Confused? Learn: What is ergonomics, what is a correct work posture, and what is included in the proposed regulation?
