  This is an interactive online training course designed to help facilities comply with OSHA’s HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120). It is part of the HAZWOPER Annual Retraining Series. The course discusses various types of exposure monitoring equipment and techniques, and reviews the concept of medical surveillance and how it is used to evaluate the health of workers who regularly work around hazardous materials.

This course is designed for workers who remove hazardous waste, or are exposed or potentially exposed to any kind of hazardous substance or health hazard in the course of their work while in or around confined spaces. It is also appropriate for safety officers, industrial hygienists, and facility managers responsible for exposure monitoring and medical surveillance programs.

  The course covers terms and definitions, monitoring with direct-reading instruments, monitoring with sampling collection devices, monitoring for IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health), general on-site monitoring, perimeter monitoring, periodic monitoring, personal monitoring, and medical surveillance.

  IDLH stands for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health. IDLH monitoring involves using instruments and techniques to detect atmospheric conditions that pose an immediate threat to life or could cause irreversible health effects. This is a critical component of exposure monitoring at hazardous materials worksites.

  Direct-reading instruments provide real-time, on-the-spot measurements of atmospheric conditions such as gas concentrations or oxygen levels. Sampling collection devices collect air or material samples that are then sent to a laboratory for detailed analysis. Both methods are covered in the course as part of a comprehensive exposure monitoring approach.

   Medical surveillance is a systematic program of medical evaluations used to assess and monitor the health of workers who regularly work around hazardous materials. It helps detect early signs of exposure-related health effects and ensures that workers are physically fit to perform their duties safely. The course reviews how medical surveillance is used in HAZWOPER environments.

Yes. This course is 100% online and fully self-paced. There is no in-person component required. The course uses a combination of audio, full-motion video, text, and graphics.
