HAZWOPER Certification Tracking
Track HAZWOPER 40/24/8-hour certification and annual refreshers across your workforce.
Why this gets hard to manage manually
HAZWOPER certification comes in different initial training levels (40-hour, 24-hour, or 8-hour, depending on the role) plus an annual 8-hour refresher. ComplyNestly tracks both the initial level and the refresher schedule for every employee.
HAZWOPER's annual refresher requirement means this credential needs more active tracking than a multi-year license — miss one 8-hour refresher window and an otherwise-qualified employee is technically out of compliance.

Frequently asked questions
How often does HAZWOPER need to be refreshed?
OSHA requires an annual 8-hour refresher for employees who received the initial 40- or 24-hour training. ComplyNestly tracks this due date automatically from the last training date.
Can I track different HAZWOPER levels for different employees?
Yes — record each employee's actual training level, and ComplyNestly tracks their specific refresher schedule accordingly.
Is there a free way to try this?
Yes. The Free plan supports up to 5 employees and 1 location, no credit card required.
Where this information comes from
HAZWOPER is governed by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 (general industry) and 1926.65 (construction), with an annual 8-hour refresher requirement. Confirm your specific role's required initial training level directly with OSHA guidance. ComplyNestly does not verify certifications or provide legal advice.
