(c) The Contractors’ State License Board may require additional updated approved hazardous substance certification examinations of licensees currently certified based on new public or occupational health and safety information.

(d) For purposes of this section “removal or remedial action” has the same meaning as found in Chapter 6.8 (commencing with Section 25300) of Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code, if the action requires the contractor to dig into the surface of the earth and remove the dug material and the action is at a site listed pursuant to Section 25356 of the Health and Safety Code or any other site listed as a hazardous waste site by the Department of Toxic Substances Control or a site listed on the National Priorities List compiled pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C.

General Information

The Hazardous Substances Removal (HSR) Manual briefly covers the major topics of the State exam including Hazardous Waste, Sampling, Personal Protective Equipment, Atmospheric Hazard Guidelines, Site Control, Underground Storage Tanks, Subsurface Barriers, Excavation Equipment, and Transporting Hazardous Materials. The manual also includes a Glossary and a section covering the Health and Safety Orders. The last section of the HSR manual is the Hazardous Substances Removal Review Questions.

The Math Review Lecture covers the math formulas in the first part of the HSR manual. The Hazardous Substances Removal General Knowledge lecture covers the topics addressed in the manual specific to the HSR Certificate exam. The Health and Safety Lecture covers the Health and Safety Orders at the end of the HSR manual. The Hazardous Substances Removal Review Questions lecture covers the Hazardous Substances Removal Review Questions in the back of the manual.

Please be sure that your students study all of the practice exams. It is important to read and understand each question, and read every word of the explanations. It is necessary to learn the principles behind the question because the State’s questions may be worded differently.

The Hazardous Substances Removal Certificate Computer-Assisted Practice Tests are supplied on a computer disk which will load a software program on the student’s computer. The program presents questions one at a time, automatically scores the exam, presents the student with a grade, and lists each question answered incorrectly along with the correct answer.
