Firefighters frequently encounter hazardous materials, oftentimes while responding to incidents not officially designated as Hazmat.
Hazmat training is essential for law enforcement personnel, as they are commonly among the first to arrive at incidents involving hazardous materials.
Hazmat incidents can present numerous significant challenges for EMS responders and hospitals that go beyond patient care.
Industrial response teams can have very specialized training needs above and beyond regulatory requirements which Signet specializes in creating.

Not another boring HAZMAT class....... This class was a great interactive learning experience. Todd kept everyone engaged and presented hands on activities for the key concepts. The first day of class everyone slowly filled the room by the last day the students didn't want it to end. I have been to numerous hazmat classes over the years and have never experienced a hazmat class quite like this. Thanks Todd!!!!!!

The best instructors in the industry Signet provided yet another knockout with this class. Whether you’re a new firefighter, company officer, or Chief, you will benefit from the high quality instruction from the best in the business. I’ve taken a few courses from signet and I think they get better each time. You will understand and be able to put your knowledge into practical use after taking a class from Signet.

Career Changing I was voluntold that I was going to become a Hazmat Technician to meet the needs of my agency, and I had no previous passion about Hazmat. This class completely changed that. I thought I was going to hate the class and I absolutely loved it. The instructors are truly subject matter experts and have a lot of information to bestow on the students. Believe it or not, I actually wish I had more time in the class and it wasn't limited to 80 hours. It was outstanding.

One of the best Haz Mat classes I ever attended. After 28 years in the fire service, it was refreshing to participate in an interactive and informative class that is normally a very dry subject. Kudos to Todd and Signet North America for a well thought out curriculum. Even my son is using info I learned for his 6th grade science project.
