HAZWOPER TRAINING SERIES The HAZWOPER Training Series provides employees with information the OSHA Regulation requires them to receive to work safely with hazardous substances, particularly in cleanup operations. By combining various programs in the series, training packages can be configured to help meet all of the OSHA HAZWOPER training requirements. The courses are divided into a number of logical sections, each with its own quiz, so information is easily understood. The interactive formats allow trainers to collect employee performance information which can be organized through a powerful relational database and provides ecordkeeping and tracking report capabilities. The DVD programs contain a Presenter’s Guide, Employee Quizzes, Scheduling and Attendance Forms, and Training Certificates. Programs are available in English and Spanish.
