Frequently Asked Questions

Hazardous operations means activities, processes, and procedures that, because of the nature of the equipment, facilities, personnel or environment involved or function being performed, may result in bodily injury or property damage.
Hazardous operations can refer to a number of things, including: 
  • Hazardous operations in oil and gas drilling
    An operation that could release a major hazard or defeat barriers to prevent a major hazard from occurring 

  • Hazardous processes in industry
    A process or activity that could cause material harm to a person's health, unless special care is taken 

  • Hazardous waste operations and emergency response
    An occupational safety and health topic that covers hazardous waste site operations and emergency response to chemical releases 

  • Hazardous materials operations
    A five-day course that teaches responders how to analyze, plan, and implement response actions for hazardous materials incidents 

  • Work at height
    Work that takes place above the ground or deck, where the primary hazard is falling 

Hazardous substances include those that are toxic, corrosive, flammable, or explosive. Dumping hazardous waste without proper measures can seriously threaten the environment and humans.

HAZWOPER does not apply to the accidental or foreseeable release of a hazardous substance that is limited in quantity, and poses no emergency or significant threat to the safety and health of workers in the immediate vicinity.

Pyrophoric solids, liquids, or gases. Toxic or highly toxic solids, liquids, or gases. Unstable (reactive) solids, liquids, or gases.

Hazardous substances can include:
  • biological agents – such as fungi, bacteria, viruses.
  • natural substances – such as grain, flour or enzyme dusts.
  • substances generated by work – such as soldering or welding fumes, or wood dust.
  • chemical products used or produced at work – such as adhesives or cleaning agents.

Hazardous Material is a substance or material that the Secretary of Transportation has determined is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce.

A hazardous material may be any biological, chemical, gas, or radioactive material which is defined as being hazardous per the Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and/or the International Aviation Transportation Association (IATA).

The information for identifying/classifying hazardous materials can be found in the DOT Hazardous Materials Table or in the current IATA List of Dangerous Goods. Each material should be reviewed, identified, and classified on a case by case basis, as the IATA and DOT lists are quite extensive.

If you are unsure of classification/identification, prior to shipping your material, contact your supervisor or your company's EHS Hazardous Materials Specialist (if one is available) to assist in identifying/classifying your material.

The HAZWOPER standard requires that a written certificate be given to each person certified for either 8-, 24- or 40-hour HAZWOPER training. For 24- or 40-hour training, if the employee has received equivalent training, the employer can demonstrate such equivalency by documentation or certification.. See 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(6) and 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(9).
