You do have to get certified as a hazmat worker, according to what they are telling us down here, and you have to pay for it yourself. It's like the fact that you have to pay to get your own CDL before you can be hired as a truck driver.
I heard about all this through a SCUBA divers/boat owners club that I hang with that has members in the keys.

BP is warning of a scam in which people are being offered training and jobs for a fee.
BP spokesman Neil Chapman said today that BP does not charge to hire and train applicants. He also said BP is working with local authorities to find those operating the scam and prosecute them.

I've heard a million times on the radio, that no one contracted to do oil clean up work is having to pay to work or pay for the training needed to do the work. Since everyone has to get their hazmat certs to do oil clean up work, I can't see how they say "no one has to pay for training" and then charge people $600 to take the classes they need to do the work. Sounds like a scam.
