Q: We are going onto a landfill to do some sampling. No hazardous waste has, is, or ever will be disposed of in the landfill. Is Hazwoper training required? If not, what training is required?
A: As long as there is no hazardous waste OSHA’s Hazwoper Regulation doesn’t apply. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard applies instead.
