Re: 40 Hour OSHA Hazardous Material & Emergency Response Training Program (First Responder). This course can also be modified to a HAZMAT WMD HAZWOPER program.

This course teaches the participant to handle many situations that may involve exposure to hazardous materials. Participants are trained from the awareness level to being able to fully functional as an on-scene Incident Commander.  The following are topics to be covered:

Ø       Legislation & Standards

Ø       Toxicology & Chemistry

Ø       Informational Resources & Hazard recognition

Ø       Compatibility of Hazardous Materials

Ø       Containers and labeling

Ø       Fire Fighting

Ø       Safety at hazmat incidents

Ø       Confined spaces & hazardous materials

Ø       Incident command system

Ø       Surveying the Scene

Ø       Personal Protective equipment

Ø       Metering (sampling equipment)

Ø       Hazmat Spill control

Ø       Decontamination

Ø       Termination Procedure

Ø       Material Safety Data Sheets

Ø       Practical Training

 Based on an organization's interaction with specific hazardous materials we will modify the course to integrate those materials into the program
