Courses and Training

3 & 4 Hour Hazmat Awareness

Our first responder certification course is intended for anyone who may discover a hazardous material spill while on the job. This can include workers who are likely to come across a spill as well as those who are specially trained to respond to emergency situations. Whether you work in an industry that produces hazardous waste or addresses a variety of emergencies, the first step toward safety in the event of a spill is awareness.

Here are some of the OSHA requirements for awareness
trained personnel:

• An understanding of what hazardous substances are, and the risks associated with them in an incident. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(A)
• An understanding of the potential outcomes associated with an emergency created when hazardous substances are present. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(B)
• The ability to recognize the presence of hazardous substances in an emergency. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(C)
• The ability to identify the hazardous substances, if possible. 29 CFR, Part 1910.120(q)(6)(i)(D)
