OSHA's hazardous waste operations and emergency response (Hazwoper) standard probably contains the most demanding training requirements of any safety, health, or environmental regulation. Yet when you talk with firms that provide this training, it appears almost no one ever fails.
No doubt there are some excellent and high-quality Hazwoper training firms out there. Unfortunately, they face a sticky business dilemma. If they maintain high-quality standards and fail students, they risk losing business to low-roaders. We all lose when this happens.
