HAZWOPER Safety: Procedures, Monitoring, and Surveillance is a 24-minute online course that trains employees on exposure monitoring procedures, monitoring equipment operation, and medical surveillance programs as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(f) and (h). It is designed for workers and safety professionals in hazardous waste operations and emergency response, and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
OSHA's HAZWOPER standard requires employers to establish monitoring programs that track worker exposure to hazardous substances and implement medical surveillance programs to detect health effects before they become serious. Under 29 CFR 1910.120(h), employers must monitor for the presence of hazardous substances whenever there is reason to believe exposure may exceed permissible levels. Medical surveillance under 29 CFR 1910.120(f) requires baseline health assessments, periodic examinations, and post-exposure evaluations. Failure to maintain these programs can result in OSHA penalties up to $16,550 per serious violation.
This course trains your employees on the full monitoring and surveillance framework under HAZWOPER. Your team will learn how to identify hazardous substances, conduct exposure assessments, and select appropriate monitoring methods for both real-time and periodic sampling. The course also covers biological monitoring for tracking long-term exposure and how to develop and manage a medical surveillance program that includes pre-employment screening, periodic health assessments, and post-exposure evaluations.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(h) requires employers to monitor employee exposure to hazardous substances at cleanup sites and TSD facilities. When initial monitoring indicates exposure above permissible exposure limits (PELs), employers must implement periodic monitoring and adjust controls accordingly. Medical surveillance under 29 CFR 1910.120(f) requires examinations at the start of employment, at least annually thereafter, upon exposure symptoms, and at the end of employment. Records must be maintained per 29 CFR 1910.1020 for the duration of employment plus 30 years. Toxic and hazardous substances exposure limits are detailed in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Z. OSHA penalties for monitoring and surveillance failures can reach $16,550 per serious violation and $165,514 for willful violations.
