The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard is a set of guidelines produced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure the safety of workers dealing with hazardous waste and emergency situations.

The Mineral County Environmental Health and Planning Department is organizing a sponsored eight-hour HAZWOPER refresher training class scheduled for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 6. 

“The last course we offered was a 40 HAZWOPER. This is an eight-hour refresher for those that have the 40 but it’s a good course even if you don’t have the 40-hour class,” explained Andy Short with Mineral County Health and Planning. “We held the 40-hour in June 2023.”
