OK I had to look this up, it’s a course about OSHA I think.
But I’m just saying.
Looking forward to this thread. :D

O-SHA-IT! I’ve been out of the work force for a couple of years but looked it up. Can you say “Crock-O”?

Would have been good to fill the rest of us in on what a Hazwoper is.
Per Wikipedia:
"Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER; HAZ-waw-pr) refers to many types of hazardous waste operations and emergency services conducted around the world, especially those conducted under the auspices of the federal government of the United States. The term appears in hazardous waste treatment regulations currently published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); however, the term predates OSHA, originating from disaster clean-ups sponsored by the Department of Energy."

Ha! Ha! I have been a Hazwoper for 12 years and hate it. I am the back up guy so I have to go to the stupid course and then not use but once every year.

Gotta love OSHA, just another bunch of bureaucrats with too much time on their hands...

Is there a distinction between hazardous “material” and hazardous “waste”? As in, does a hazwoper wear a hazmat suit?

I took the HAZWOPER-40 class - 40 being the number of training hours I received during one week by the Charlotte FD.

The two Fortune 500 companies Ive worked for in the last five years went way overboard. A woman at one facility I worked at had an unexpected period and spilled a few drops of blood on the floor. They treated it like a five alarm emergency, with yellow and black tape, orange cones and personal protection equipment. They moped it up and put it in a container that has to be accounted for and it takes thousands of dollars to dispose of. If shed have called me Id have wiped it up with a paper towel and not said a word. The response was so overboard and she was so embarrassed she quit and took another job. The same thing happened when a water pressure surge caused a few drops of rusty water to leak form the fire nozzles. The company responded the same way
to rusty water. Crazy.

When you say “hazwoper” does it have the same effect as saying “Frau Blucher”?
