OSHA HAZWOPER Links

I promised that I would create a links list for the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (HAZWOPER) 8-hour refresher class ... so this is a start (and only a start, since the stupid computer decided to publish this prematurely)

I will add additional information to this page when I get a chance.  If you have a specific question about a resource we discussed, email me and let me know.  Also if you find a resource that you think is helpful - please comment or forward it so that I can post it for everyone.

Have a great summer!
