Signet North America’s 40-hour Highway Emergency Response course prepares emergency responders for hazardous materials incidents specifically related to personal and commercial highway transportation. This includes passenger vehicles, mixed-load dry vans, and cargo tanks. Topics include alternative fuel vehicle response considerations, container types and features, basic repairs, drilling and transfer techniques, grounding and bonding, and more, all incorporated into an extensive hands-on experience.
Course objectives
Signet North America’s Hazmat Highway Response course addresses criteria found in 2022 NFPA 470 Chapter 10, Competencies for Hazardous Materials/WMD Technicians, Chapter 11, Professional Qualifications for Hazardous Materials/WMD Technicians, and Chapter 22 — Competencies for Hazardous Materials/WMD Technicians with a Cargo Tank Specialty.
Due to the hands-on nature of this program, attendees will have opportunities to utilize equipment they may already have throughout the course. Signet North America will provide everything needed for the class; however, we also believe it is critically important that personnel be able to utilize the equipment they use within their own agencies. To that end, we highly encourage attendees to bring their own agency’s materials and equipment whenever possible to learn the particular strengths, limitations, and specific applications of their own equipment.

Course Content
The goal of this Signet North America Highway Emergency Response course is to provide 40 hours of high-energy, interactive, and informative education designed to take the attendee through a wide range of subject matter to include, but not be limited to (based on availabilities of equipment and containers):

Use of Reference Materials
Alternative Fuels Vehicles (passenger and commercial)
Non-bulk Containers and Mixed-Load Cargo Vans
Cargo Tanks Overview
Basic Container Damage Assessment
Grounding and Bonding
