This course is a combination of a Hazmat Awareness and Operations level training. The first 8 hours of the course is designed to provide those individuals with the basic knowledge to be able to analyze the incident and notify the proper authorities of the release in order to protect life, property and minimize the environmental impact of a hazardous materials incident. They take no further action beyond notification. The remaining 24 hours targets First responders at the operations level are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances as part of the initial response to the site for the purpose of protecting nearby persons, property or the environment from the effects of the release. They are trained to respond in a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the release. Their function is to contain the release from a safe distance, keep it from spreading and prevent exposures. This course is presented in compliance with 29CFR Chapter XVII 1910.120(q)(6)(ii) and the Arizona Administrative Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Article 6.
