Other Information
Annual Refreshers are required to maintain your certification. You can
take the refresher anytime during the 12 months following expiration of
your 40-hour certificate, but you may not engage in WSW activities until
the refresher is completed. If you fail to complete the required refresher
within the grace period, you must retake the initial 40 Hour Course. 29 CFR 1910.120 and Title 8 CCR 5192
Hazardous wastes, when not handled properly, can pose a significant safety
and health risk. OSHA recognized the need to improve the quality of the
hazardous waste work environment and developed the HAZWOPER standard to
provide employers and employees with the information and training necessary
to improve workplace safety and health, thereby greatly reducing the number
of injuries and illnesses resulting from exposure to hazardous waste. 49 CFR and CCR Title 13
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for hazardous
wastes, including Household Hazardous Wastes (HHW) are set forth in 49
CFR. The State of California Regulations are found in Title 13 of the
California Code of Regulations (CCR). Specific rules governing Household
Hazardous Waste (HHW) generators are detailed in Title 22 & Title
26.
