HAZWOPER: What it Stands For & How We Can Train You!
Many of us have heard the term “HAZWOPER” thrown around, but we do not know what it means. You may have heard the term used in relation to a safety course, or perhaps you’ve heard it referenced in terms of dangerous materials. Well today, Creation World Safety is here to teach you all you need to know about our HAZWOPER course including what it means, what the course entails, and the benefits of becoming certified!

What is the Definition of HAZWOPER?

HAZWOPER stands for “Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response”. This term was developed to protect workers at hazardous sites where waste has been dumped, posing a threat to our environment and the people in it.

What Does HAZWOPER Certification Entail?

Certification is required for any individual working in an environment where copious amounts of hazardous waste can be found. There are a few different course levels depending on the job title. They include:
- 40 hours of training that is both classroom and hands on training with specialized equipment. This 40 hour training period is only needed for individuals working in an uncontained, uncontrolled hazardous area
- For those simply visiting hazardous areas as part of their job, a 24-hour training and certification period is provided. This training includes 24 hours of classroom materials and one day of on-field instruction
- An 8-hour refresher course is required to maintain certification. This is for those who are already 24/40 hour HAZWOPER certified
- Lastly, we offer a first responder course for those emergency personnel, firefighters and police that are entering emergency situations in hazardous areas
What are the Benefits?

All of our courses comply with OSHA regulations and are required for companies subjecting workers to hazardous waste. In the courses, students will learn the basics of HAZWOPER elements and safety, what PPE Programs entail and the use of PPE, effects of radiological and biological exposures, and much more. This course is beneficial to keep your workers safe, and knowledgeable of how to conduct themselves in a dangerous situation.

CPR/First Aid Training For Businesses : The Why & How
Accidents can happen at any time and at any place, be it at home or in the workplace. In fact, an accident can take place right before your eyes wherein you come across someone who is in dire need of medical attention. When people are trained in CPR and first aid, they can come to the assistance of someone in need as they will have the skills and confidence to do so. First aid and CPR training helps contribute to the well-being and quality of life of people both while at work and in their personal lives.

Medical emergencies occur all the time and if you happen to be nearby and are trained in CPR and first aid, you can confidently step in to provide assistance. Even if the person in need of help requires advanced treatment that only a doctor can provide, the initial CPR or first aid that is performed can help save that person’s life before they are seen by a medical professional.

Benefits of Corporate CPR/First Aid Training

Many businesses are required by law to provide workers with first aid and CPR training including hospitals, nursing homes, foster care facilities, home health care services and more. But even if a business is not required to provide this training, it would prove beneficial to offer it as accidents can happen in any type of workplace environment.

When employees are provided with CPR and first aid training, the workplace becomes a safer place for everyone, as staff will be more safety-conscious. Additionally, the business itself benefits from a financial standpoint as the risk of facing situations like fines, lawsuits and absenteeism will be reduced.

What to Expect from Corporate CPR and First Aid Training

When enrolled in a CPR/first aid course, your employees will learn how to:
- Recognize a medical emergency
- Properly handle breathing and cardiac emergencies
- Take the appropriate actions so that life can be sustained until professional help arrives
- Prevent the transmission of disease
- Identify and care for a wide range of injuries and sudden illness
The typical basic CPR/first aid (Red Cross) course lasts for six hours and the curriculum consists of both instructor-led and hands-on training. In order to pass the course, the student must earn a passing score of at least 80 percent. He or she is then given a printed certification card that is valid for two years.
