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.

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.
