This 8-hour hands-on course is designed to make hazmat chemical terminology applicable for emergency responders as found in 2002 NFPA 470. Rather than simply discuss the terms, responders will actually create and observe the various behaviors, and learn how these behaviors are relevant in the field at 2:00 a.m.
Through live demonstrations and interactive exercises, responders will gain a working knowledge of chemical properties, reactivity, and response tactics. This training ensures they can confidently apply their skills in real-world hazmat incidents
Chemistry You Will Actually Use includes the terms outlined in NFPA 470 including but not limited to the following concepts:
The goal of this Signet North America Chemistry You’ll Actually Use Experience is to ensure that personnel will better understand the chemical terminology required of them by NFPA 470. This Experience is one very full day of interactive hands-on chemical demonstrations, explorations, explanations and real-world applications for responders at all levels.
Prerequisites: None required.
Hazmat incidents require quick thinking, accurate identification, and immediate action. This course ensures that emergency responders can:
Identify hazardous materials quickly and accurately.
Predict chemical behavior to avoid worsening the situation.
Use proper mitigation techniques to prevent spills, fires, or explosions.
Make informed decisions that enhance overall emergency response effectiveness.
This Hazmat Chemistry You’ll Actually Use course is ideal for:
By the end of this course, participants will have a solid foundation in hazmat chemistry and a certificate of completion that meets key NFPA 470 and OSHA requirements.
Get the hands-on training you need to handle real-world hazmat emergencies with confidence.
