8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher
Online · Self-Paced · Annual Requirement · $39.95
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(8) requires everyone holding HAZWOPER — 40-Hour or 24-Hour — to complete 8 hours of refresher training every year. This self-paced online course keeps your certification current and your name on the site roster.

Who Needs This Refresher
- Anyone holding the 40-Hour or 24-Hour HAZWOPER — the refresher is what keeps it valid
- Cleanup, remediation, and removal crews returning to hazardous waste sites
- EOD and UXO technicians — the annual refresher is what keeps you badged onto UXO ranges and munitions response sites year after year
- TSD facility personnel and emergency responders with HAZWOPER obligations
Supervisors, read this first: if you hold the Supervisor certification, take the 8-Hour Supervisor Refresher instead — it counts as your HAZWOPER Refresher requirement too, so one course covers both. This page is the worker-level refresher.
What the Refresher Covers
- Updates to OSHA regulations and site safety practice
- Toxicology and hazard recognition review
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protection
- Site control and decontamination procedures
- Air monitoring and emergency procedures
- Training documentation and recordkeeping
How It Works
- Enroll on the 8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher course page — credit card, P-Card, GSA, and purchase orders accepted. Want proof that fits in your pocket? The Wallet ID Card version is $44.95.
- Complete at your own pace — pause and resume anytime, on any device.
- Pass the final exam — you will receive your certificate via email so it can be saved to your files and/or printed for your records, ready for your employer's OSHA training file.
Moving Up? Stack the Supervisor
Here's the practical reality from our experience in this industry: companies hiring HAZWOPER personnel also need HAZWOPER Supervisors, and the candidate holding both will more than likely be picked over the one with only the basic level. The Refresher w/Wallet ID + Supervisor Initial package is $100 — knock out your annual and add the supervisor credential in the same sitting. Details on the Supervisor Initial page.
For Companies: Monthly Billing & Branded Training Portals
Annual refreshers are exactly where corporate accounts earn their keep — the same crew needs the same course every year. Have ten or more employees?
- Monthly billing — employees enroll with no credit card and no reimbursement claim forms; your company is invoiced (or a card on file is charged) at the end of each month for that month's enrollments.
- Your own branded portal — we build a company training portal that mimics your website, with your logo.
- Admin control — your designated Corporate Administrator enrolls students, tracks who's current and who's due, and prints completion certificates, including past certificates.
- On-site delivery — in-person training is taught at EOD Gear in Franklin, TN, or at your location for a group of employees. Travel charges may apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need the HAZWOPER Refresher?
Annually. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(8) requires 8 hours of refresher training every year for everyone holding the 40-Hour or 24-Hour HAZWOPER.
I'm a supervisor — do I take this or the Supervisor Refresher?
Take the Supervisor Refresher — it counts as your HAZWOPER Refresher requirement too, so one 8-hour course a year covers both. This page is the worker-level refresher for personnel without the supervisor certification.
Do EOD and UXO technicians need the annual refresher?
Yes. EOD and UXO technicians operating in the United States must keep the 40-Hour HAZWOPER current with the annual 8-hour refresher — range contractors verify it before site access.
What happens if my refresher lapses?
OSHA does not define a grace period. If your annual refresher lapses, complete it as soon as possible — and after an extended lapse, your employer may require repeating initial training. Don't let a $39.95 course be the reason you're pulled off a site.
How long does the course take?
The course covers 8 hours of material and is fully self-paced — complete it in one sitting or across multiple sessions; your progress is saved.
When do I get my certificate?
Immediately upon passing the final exam. You will receive your certificate via email so it can be saved to your files and/or printed for your records — and it can go straight into your employer's OSHA training records. A Wallet ID Card version of the course is also available.
Can I keep my whole team current?
Yes — if you have ten or more employees who need training, set up a corporate account. Your designated admin enrolls employees (no credit cards, no reimbursement forms), tracks who's current, and prints certificates, and your company is billed monthly. We can build a branded training portal that mimics your company website. In-person delivery is available at EOD Gear in Franklin, TN, or at your location — travel charges may apply.
