Recent events have shown many responders find it challenging knowing how to identify the hazards and risks of hazardous material incidents and the legal framework for protecting the environment.

This Hazmat Response course will ensure delegates develop knowledge and skills in how to deal with the initial response of any incident involving hazardous materials. The course has been aligned both to U.K. national operational guidance, national occupational standards, CAP 699 and NFPA 472 Responder.

Upon completion of this course, delegates will be able to identify the role of the Hazmat Officer on scene, as well as being able to carry out a detailed analysis of the incident. They will also be able to predict the likely behaviour of hazardous materials and the importance of a comprehensive and accurate handover. This detailed Hazmat Response course will give responders the skills and the confidence to deal with any incident safely and effectively.

The course is delivered by experienced Hazmat Officers and is fully accredited with a written assessment to certify competence.

Delivery of the course will include a mixture of theoretical input, case studies and classroom based exercises.

This qualification is validated by a 30 minute written assessment, with formative assessment throughout the course by the trainer.
