About Us

The Hazardous Materials Training Center has been in operation over 20 years. During that time, we have trained approximately 18,000 workers in the areas of HAZWOPER (hazardous waste site operations and emergency response), permit-required confined spaces and DOT hazardous waste generators. Read more about OSHA's HAZWOPER, 29 CFR 1910.120.

We are a member of the Midwest Consortium of Hazardous Waste Worker Training which is partially funded from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). One of NIEHS missions is to "fund non-profit organizations with a demonstrated track record of providing safety and health education in developing high quality training to workers who are involved in handling hazardous waste or in responding to emergency releases of hazardous materials."

The other Consortium members training centers are located in TN, OH, IL. IN. MI and MN. Additional information is available at http://www.uc.edu/mwc/.
