Tiffany: OSHA is not specific when it comes to their meaning of annual when it comes to completing the 8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher.  
Mike Mancini: okay so if I take it within the next month it would be okay?
Tiffany: We advise completing the 8-Hour Refresher within 2 months of your initial certification date or completing the initial training again if it gets to much farther out.  
Mike Mancini: okay thank you
Tiffany: We appreciate your using ComplyChat to contact us! Is there anything else we can do to serve you better? 
Mike Mancini: is confined spaces one that needs to be renewed annually as well?
Tiffany: No
Mike Mancini: okay. When does that need to be renewed?
Tiffany: Per OSHA, After the training, employers must ensure that the employees have acquired the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary to perform their duties safely. Additional training is required when: the job duties change; A change occurs in the permit space program, or the permit space operation presents any new hazard; an employee’s job performance shows deficiencies.
Tiffany: OSHA&#39;s standard for confined spaces 29 CFR 1910.146
Mike Mancini: okay thank you
Tiffany: My pleasure!
