Your Instructors
Life Saving Education courses are taught by a team of experienced instructors. Every LSE instructor is at least a paramedic with teaching experience, and many bring additional firefighter, clinical, technical-rescue, or occupational-safety backgrounds. The assigned instructor may vary by course, location, and specialty.
Important Program Notices
HAZWOPER Program Notice
HAZWOPER training requirements under 29 CFR 1910.120 are role-based and employer-driven. The employer remains responsible for determining required training levels, providing site-specific training, medical surveillance where applicable, and supervised field experience requirements. Course completion documents an employee’s participation in training and does not by itself establish regulatory compliance for the employer.
Completion Documents
Completion documents are issued by the applicable certifying organization after all attendance, skills, testing, and administrative requirements are met. A generic site certificate is never a substitute for an official course completion card or eCard. The organization imposing your training requirement decides what it will accept; verify the required course and completion document before registering.
