HAZMAT PREP & RESPONSE PROGRAM

The nature of handling hazardous materials or waste makes accidents a continual possibility, no matter how infrequently they may actually occur. They happen quickly, unexpectedly, and require immediate response. This class will provide participants with the resources to train your employees or clients in responding to these unexpected situations.

SUMMARY / OUTCOMES

It’s critical that employees understand the risks of the hazardous materials they work with. These risks can be reduced and even eliminated through the use of appropriate preparation techniques. These techniques, coupled with a proper understanding of emergency response techniques and how to work with Emergency Responders can limit the negative impact of a hazmat incident. This class will introduce attendees to the 2024 ERG, GHS compliant Safety Data Sheets, HAZMAT terminology, proper selection and use of PPE and various Apps. Combining everything mentioned above so that you can train your employees or clients and develop your own site specific safety protocols for your organization.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

49CFR 172.604 identifies the responsibilities of the individual(s) who fields the call in the case of accident

This what you’ll learn:

Assist your personnel to know what to do if an accident happens and who to call.
If they are required to put on PPE of any kind, learn how to select the best protection for your specific circumstances.
Know what needs to be done in the event of a spill.
If your employees or clients handle/package/transport hazardous materials, find out what they need to know.
All who attend will receive access to the “Instructors Dashboard” filled with tools you were exposed to in this class that you can immediately
use to develop your own HAZMAT employee training?

HAZMAT emergency preparation and response can be a fast and fluid challenge. During this three-day train-the-trainer class, we will start with the basics including HAZMAT terminology, proper selection, and use of PPE, all with the goal to enable students to teach others. What is involved in writing plans, fit testing respirators, or selecting the right level of protection? Bring your cameras and get out of your seats as this will be a fun, interactive, hands-on class. DOT requires that those who handle, package, and transport Hazardous Materials can explain potential problems to First Responders with a goal of limiting the emergency event. Join us for this class and we’ll teach you how to do that and much more!”
