HAZMAT Technician Refresher
Cost: $125 per person - Price Match Guarantee
The HAZMAT Technician refresher is designed for individuals who require re-certification for their existing HAZMAT certification. HAZMAT Technicians are those persons who respond offensively to releases or potential releases of hazardous materials for the purpose of controlling the release. They are more aggressive than first responders at the operations level in that they will approach the point of release to plug, patch, or otherwise stop the release of a hazardous materials substance. They are expected to use specialized chemical protective clothing and specialized control equipment. Group discounts available (3 or more people).

Course Description
Duration
Note: OSHA requires a list of competencies that must be met rather than a minimum time requirement for emergency response refresher training. Our course allows you to login and logout at any time increment in order to fit your schedule. When you logout, the course will be bookmarked so you can begin where you left off. The study timer will also accrue your time and will begin where you left off in the course.
Key Regulatory Topics
• Know the classification, identification and verification of known and unknown materials by using field survey instruments and equipment
