Hazardous Waste Training

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.
