Public Safety and Emergency Management Hazmat Training

Why Hazmat Training is Crucial for Medical Personnel

The primary role of EMS personnel and hospitals in a hazardous materials event is to triage, treat, decontaminate and medically screen patients as necessary. An influx of potentially contaminated patients can overwhelm any care facility or hospital. Hospitals and other care facilities must work collaboratively with first responders and local government to safely assess, transport, and treat victims of a hazardous materials incident, including the challenges of a surge of contaminated patients, including potentially contaminated patients who self-refer and arrive unannounced at area care facilities.

Signet’s multi-tiered Hazmat for EMS and Hospitals curriculum includes:

For on-scene EMS, protocols and techniques for safely decontaminating victims on scene to provide for safe initial treatment and transport, ensuring their safety and the safety of medical personnel.
For hospital staff, procedures and best practices for decontaminating hospital staff after exposure to hazardous materials or infectious agents.
For hospital administrative personnel, incident command training within the ICS framework, tailored for hospital settings to manage internal and external emergencies effectively.

In addition, Signet North America’s Hospital Hazmat Decontamination Program educates hospital personnel on the objectives and implementation of decontamination, including the additional challenges when special populations such as the non-ambulatory, children, infants, service animals, etc. are the recipients.

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.

Superbly Designed Learning Experience

Todd, you are killing it. Signet isn’t just the gold standard in hazmat instruction, it sets the highest bar in adult learning across all spectrums, period. I saw you coming in early in the morning, earlier than me. That alone tells me the care you apply to your company and your students. The outcome is a superbly designed learning experience with every little detail being addressed with what’s most likely hours of preparation.
