TargetSolutions Revises Water Industry Advanced HAZWOPER Awareness Training Series

When it comes to working with hazardous substances or being exposed to other health or safety risks, organizations need a Hazardous Waste Operations (HAZWOPER) training program that can be easily delivered and renewed on an annual basis. TargetSolutions’ 4-part Water Industry Advanced HAZWOPER Awareness series, in the water and wastewater training catalog, addresses the specific requirements for water industry professionals with an eight-hour refresher training. With a fully updated interface and new content upgrade, employees taking the modules are more engaged and can better understand procedures.

Advanced HAZWOPER Awareness is now delivered in a video-driven format with a course host to guide learners through each lesson. To maximize retention of the courses, the modules’ images and text were also updated with all-new material with the assistance of subject matter experts.

Upon completing the eight-hour series, employees will have completed the following objectives:

Review Hazardous Substances and Regulations
Gain an understanding of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Recognize how hazardous substances are labeled, placarded, and identified
Gain an understanding of the health effects of dealing with Hazardous Materials and Waste
Review basic toxicology and the routes of exposure into the human body
Understand how to control exposures using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Review the emergency responder’s role
Review the Incident Command structure
“In the water industry, proper safety measures around hazardous materials protect both employees and the public. TargetSolutions’ newly revised advanced HAZWOPER series is led by an instructor and is designed for water industry personnel and the hazardous situations they frequently encounter.”

Bryan Fitzgerald, Content Manager, TargetSolutions

As employees progress through the objectives, in-course quizzes check for comprehension and an end of course exam with a minimum passing score proves competency in the subject. In addition to TargetSolutions’ Water Industry Advanced HAZWOPER Awareness series, an assessment of the hands-on performance of work tasks is also necessary and should be procured through your management or training coordinator.
