Students will also visit an O&G facility on or near a refuge to learn skills and safety considerations, and assess and monitor O&G sites for safety, permits and environmental compliance, and restoration and remediation. Class participants will receive certification for OSHA HAZWOPER 8-hour refresher training (40 or 24- hour OSHA HAZWOPER training is a prerequisite; 29 CFR 1910.120)
