HazMat Awareness will train responders to NFPA 1072/472: with the knowledge and skills to understand what hazardous substances are and the risk associated with them in an incident, recognize the presence of hazardous substances in an emergency, and understand their role as an emergency responder at the Awareness level.

HazMat Operations will train responders to NFPA1072/472: Standard for Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents operations-level competence.

HazMat Technician Training will prepare responders for Technician-level Hazardous Materials certification. This multi-hour course, based on NFPA® 472 standards, provides participants with specific response knowledge and skills, enabling them to respond safely and effectively to a suspected incident at the hazardous materials technician level.

Participants receive hands-on training in donning and doffing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Levels A and B, containing leaks and drum overpacking, containing leaks in pressurized containers, and performing technical and mass decontamination. The HMT course culminates with performance of these offensive-level tasks in an activity in which the participants apply the knowledge and skills learned in a simulated environment.

All students must provide their own SCBA.
