Intended Audience
This course is intended for workers who regularly work on monitored and fully characterized sites where hazard exposures are under permissible and published exposure limits, respirators are not necessary, and there is no health hazard or the possibility of an emergency. It also applies to workers onsite only occasionally, for a specific limited task.
This course may also be appropriate for those who want a fundamental understanding of hazardous waste safety and health hazards, safe work practices, and procedures for hazardous waste operations, but do not work on a hazardous site.

The On-Site OSHA Training Difference
While online training is a convenient option, instructor-led safety training offers benefits that will produce a greater long-term payoff, including:
- Knowledge Retention – When it comes to knowledge retention, nothing beats instructor-led training. The classroom provides a focused environment for learning that encourages participation and discussion.
- Personalized Learning – Experienced instructors tailor approaches and answer specific questions during the course of the training. Students also receive immediate feedback. If a particular section is confusing, too fast or too slow, the trainer can adjust the teaching plan to accommodate real-time feedback.
- Peer Learning – In a classroom setting, attendees can gain insight from others’ questions and learn from their peers as well as the instructor. This is also a great networking opportunity to meet and learn from others in a similar field or trade.
