How long does it take to complete the OSHA 8 Hour Hazwoper Refresher course?
Although you might think it’s obvious, we do get this question. The answer is… at least eight (8) hours. The regulations require that training be at least eight hours in duration, so if you are able to breeze through the course content in three or four hours, you have not fulfilled the eight hour requirement. Each user must spend at least 8 hours participating in their annual review. In addition to the course materials, we provide links to external resources found at EPA and OSHA as additional exercises for the user to explore (being a fast reader doesn’t help reduce the time requirement). As mentioned in the previous FAQ (above), we suggest hands-on and site specific training be provide by the employer to augment the online training material. Our final exam consists of one question… it asks that the user certify that they have spent at least eight (8) hours participating in the review.
